Today, Members of Parliament(MPs) gathered in the Plenary Hall of the Chamber of Deputies to celebrate Commonwealth Day.
The celebrations brought together Rwandan MPs who reflected on the theme “One resilient common future: Transforming our commonwealth”.
Rwandan deputies also interacted on several subjects related to the mission of the Commonwealth, which Rwanda joined in 2009 becoming its 54th member country.
Commonwealth Day is an annual celebration observed by people all over the 56 Commonwealth Member Countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Americas, the Pacific and Europe.
In a statement, Commonwealth says that the theme of this year highlights how the 56 member countries must harness their strengths by building resilience, unlocking potential, leveraging the ‘Commonwealth Advantage’ and fostering a connected, digital Commonwealth. This transformation is vital to ensure a resilient common future where no one is left behind. (End)
