Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting

Every two years, the heads of government of Commonwealth member states convene at a meeting commonly referred to as CHOGM. (Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting). The most recent Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting took place on 28 - 30 October in Perth, Australia.

Whilst the CHOGM is conducted in a more informal setting than other international summits, major strategic issues affecting the Commonwealth are discussed. At CHOGM 2011, Heads considered the recommendations of the Eminent Persons Group (EPG) for reform of the Commonwealth.
