To mark the 75th anniversary of the Commonwealth, Dame Cindy was joined by members of the Diplomatic Corps, the Royal Commonwealth Society, and members of the Interfaith Community for the annual Commonwealth Day celebrations at Parliament. Dame Cindy read a message from His Majesty King Charles III, where His Majesty noted that the diversity of the Commonwealth’s 56 member countries continues to be its greatest strength. This evening's celebrations also featured a stunning performance from the Wellington East Girls College Polynesian Group.
The Commonwealth of Nations consist of around one third of the world’s population – about 2.5 billion people – working towards shared goals of prosperity, democracy, and peace.
