Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lord Haselhurst (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 3 May 2011 on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
The Commonwealth
- Question
- Does my hon. Friend agree that the forthcoming centennial conference of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association provides an admirable platform for my right hon. Friend the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary to expound this Government's positive view of the Commonwealth and the CPA's role in it?
- Answer
-
A resounding yes. An organisation that concentrated originally on Anglophone countries now attracts a keenness to join from countries outside the Anglophone sphere. Recently, Rwanda, a Francophone country, joined, as did Mozambique, a Lusophone country. Countries are queuing up to join this excellent organisation.
