Commonwealth Games 2010 |
| The Commonwealth is primarily an organization in which countries with diverse economic backgrounds have an opportunity for close and equal interaction. As it looks like, the organization is not made to authority any country economically or politically or to practice the force of one country over the other but it is meant to start and fortify a friendly relationship between the member countries to help each others in future. The important part to remember here is, just because you are a member country, this does not give you the right to organize the Commonwealth Games in your country. The primary activities of the Commonwealth are designed to create an atmosphere of economic co-operation between member nations, as well as the promotion of democracy, human rights, and good governance in those nations. |
