Ian Borg chairs Commonwealth action group

Minister attends Commonwealth Day events in London

Foreign Minister Ian Borg has chaired the 72nd meeting of the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group , the fifth one since he was elected to this role in October 2024.

The meeting was held on the margins of Commonwealth Day events as Malta joined the 56 members of this organisation in London to reaffirm a shared commitment to multilateralism and international cooperation in times of unprecedented geopolitical uncertainty.

During the CMAG meeting, the nine members of the group discussed the latest developments in several countries within the Commonwealth.

“We must continue guiding and supporting members to safeguard the fundamental values and principles enshrined in the Commonwealth Charter – including democracy, rule of law, human rights and freedom of expression,”  Borg said.

Borg also joined other Commonwealth members at Westminster Abbey for a multi-faith service marking the 77th anniversary of the organisation. During a reception at St James’s Palace, Dr Borg met with King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
