A SUCESSFUL COMMONWEALTH MEETING

Prime Minister Philip Davis with the Foreign Minister Fred Mitchell returned to The Bahamas last week following a successful trip to the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Apia, Samoa.  The Prime Minister was able to accomplish all the objectives of the visit: the successful completion of the term of Baroness Patricia Scotland on acceptable and dignified terms, the election of a new Secretary General for the Commonwealth Shirley Betchwey of Ghana, and agreements on reparatory justice on slavery and climate change.  Congratulations.
