Ahead of the main CHOGM summit, President Paul Kagame attended a significant meeting hosted by the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) in Samoa. The initiative, led by King Charles III of the United Kingdom, focuses on promoting environmentally sustainable investments.

The SMI meeting, chaired by King Charles III, took place as part of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) 2024, being held in Samoa. The initiative was first launched in 2020 during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, as a way to advocate for green investment and sustainable practices.

On Thursday, President Kagame also held discussions with the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, Gaston Browne. Their meeting focused on strengthening bilateral relations and exploring new avenues for cooperation in various sectors.

The CHOGM summit, which officially began on October 21, 2024, brings together leaders from Commonwealth nations that share English as their official language. The event is being held in Apia, Samoa, with a strong focus on global collaboration and development.

The official opening ceremony of CHOGM 2024 will take place on Friday, October 25, when Rwanda will formally hand over the Commonwealth chairmanship to Samoa, marking the start of Samoa's two-year leadership of the organization.
