Commonwealth Day 2019: PM message
Prime Minister Theresa May's Commonwealth Day message.
Today, on Commonwealth Day, I am proud to celebrate the United Kingdom바카라 사이트™s part in this diverse family of nations. It is fitting that in the group바카라 사이트™s 70th year our theme is 바카라 사이트˜A Connected Commonwealth바카라 사이트™. In an increasingly interlinked world, the bonds between Commonwealth citizens, organisations and governments provide a uniquely valuable network for international co-operation.
At the Commonwealth Heads of 바카라 사이트 Meeting in London last year, my fellow leaders and I agreed concrete steps to achieve a fairer, more secure, more prosperous and more sustainable future for the group바카라 사이트™s 2.4 billion people. As Chair-in-Office, the UK is now working with the whole Commonwealth to deliver those commitments.
Over the past year, our leadership of the new Commonwealth Clean Oceans Alliance with Vanuatu has encouraged 24 member countries to commit to specific actions to tackle marine plastic pollution. And over 2,300 women-owned businesses have signed up to the UK-funded Commonwealth 바카라 사이트˜She Trades바카라 사이트™ programme, boosting female entrepreneurship.
The collective determination to deliver the Commonwealth바카라 사이트™s vision for a common future has never been stronger. I continue to firmly and wholeheartedly believe in the good that this family of nations can do.
