Trump has confirmed the visit and he also said that the meeting between Pompeo and Kim Jong-un went off "very well". The location for that summit has not yet been disclosed, and may not have been agreed on yet.
A specially invited audience seated in the Ballroom of Buckingham Palace was introduced to Heads of Government and senior leaders from 53 Commonwealth Member Countries, as well as the Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland.
"The overall objective of the Prime Minister's participation at this CHOGM in 2018 signals our stepped up engagement with the Commonwealth".
"India has no objection to Prince Charles as the next Head because he has worked hard for the institution".
The Queen who is now 91 years old is unlikely to attend any future Commonwealth summits in far flung member-countries and is keen to pass on the baton to the 69-year-old Prince of Wales.
The last CHOGM was attended by India in 2009 in Trinidad and Tobago. The Indian government has said that this symbolises the country's wider efforts to step up its role across global forums. The next country which will host the upcoming CHOGM will also be announced today.
