I'm wondering what the point of having a gallery of attendees of the CHOGM is. Last time out, 35 Heads of Government or Heads of State were in attendance, and, whilst I don't know what it is this time, it's probably higher now. If one has a gallery of every single one of the Heads of Government (let alone attendees that aren't HoG), it would run to several times the length of the prose. Furthermore, the guests of honour, such as Ban Ki-moon, Nicolas Sarkozy, Lars Rasmussen and Paul Kagame are more notable as attendees anyway. Bastin 12:58, 29 November 2009 (UTC)


51 of 53 Heads of Government attended. You definitely be able to find photos of George Brown of the United Kingdom, Stephen Harper of Canada, PM of India, Pakistan, Bangledesh, Key of New Zealand as well as PMs from the Bahamas and other Carribean countries and the dozens of African countries, including South Africa, Kenya, and Uganda. (The Queen called for solutions to Global Warming and ways to make the Commonwealth relevent to the $1 Billion citizens of the Commonwealth under 25.

The Commonwealth created at fund to help nations harmed by Global Warming. (Canada, previously reticent on policies signed and fully supported the agreement.Prime Minister Harper also changed his view that the Copenhagen Conference would not end in an agreement and told reporters that the agreement will be difficult, but not impossible. Harper also said Canada may 'tweek' emmission targets prior to the Copenhagen conference.

Rwanda was admitted. Canada agreed to resume sales of atomic energy to India.

You should find lots of information of government sites, the commonwealth secretariat site, the Queen`s site, as well as from new orgs. like the BBC, CBC, CTV, Canada.com,reuters, Canada Press,Times of India, etc. Happy hunting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.186.155.176 (talk) 21:40, 29 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
