Police officers stand in front of demonstrators protesting against Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Parliament Square London on Wednesday
Within the official visit, President Sirisena is scheduled to meet the British Prime Minister Theresa May and also to hold discussions with several British government officials and visiting delegations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will take part in the event on April 19th and 20th.
All other 51 heads of governments are travelling to the venue in a luxury coach and so far no one has been granted bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the summit. That this will be the last CHOGM, which is held every two years, hosted by Queen Elizabeth II who has ruled out long-distance travel in the future and wrote a warm, personal letter to the Indian Prime Minister urging him to attend, adds a whiff of nostalgia for those still so enamoured.
The President will address the Commonwealth Business Forum as the key-note speaker on the theme, "Delivering Sustainable Development Goals: Aligning Business, Society and the Government". India considers that the Commonwealth comprises of a very diverse set of 53 countries ranging from small island developing states to some of the most advanced industrialized countries of the world.
