Samoa, a distinguished member of the Commonwealth is thrilled to be the host of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (‘CHOGM’) in October 2024. This prestigious event brings together heads of government and heads of states from across the Commonwealth to discuss and address global challenges and opportunities. This historic occasion highlights Samoa’s growing prominence on the international stage and underscores the importance of island nations in global diplomacy. The theme for CHOGM 2024, “One Resilient Common Future: Transforming Our Common Wealth” encapsulates the spirit of unity, and collective action, in line with addressing the challenges and creating more opportunities for the Commonwealth nations. Following the decisions and achievements made since CHOGM 2022, leaders will engage in discussions regarding worldwide economic, environmental, and security issues. They will explore how the modern Commonwealth can collaborate to enhance resilience, promote trade, innovation, growth, and empower the Commonwealth's 1.5 billion youth to create a more peaceful and sustainable future. Known for our vibrant culture, stunning natural landscapes and commitment to sustainable development, we are honoured to welcome heads of government, delegates and international dignitaries. CHOGM 2024 will not only put a spotlight on Samoa’s unique heritage but also underscore our dedication to fostering global collaboration and innovation. Hosting CHOGM 2024 is a testament to Samoa’s growing prominence on the world stage and our ability to facilitate high-level discussions on global critical issues. We look forward to a successful and impactful gathering in October 2024, and are excited to demonstrate Samoa’s role as a credible and forward-thinking jurisdiction within the Commonwealth.
