Commonwealth to celebrate its 40th anniversary across all member states and territories.
Big celebrations planned
Commonwealth 40th Anniversary Festivities
The Commonwealth Secretariat in Glasgow, and Representative Offices in numerous Commonwealth Realms, British Overseas Territories
and protected states have released advertisement tenders and reservations at different venues. BBS has asked around, and our sources
inside the Commonwealth Secretariat has pointed out that these are for the 40th anniversary of the Commonwealth.
According to our source inside the Secretariat, the Commonwealth Commission wishes to "make the 40th anniversary unique compared to previous
anniversaries, as we lead up to the 50th year since the birth of this organisation".
The British Commonwealth was formed in the aftermath of the Falklands War in 1983, as incoherent and inconsistent American foreign policy
caused numerous British dominions to distance themselves from American dominated NATO, and the 1986 Chinese invasion of Hong Kong
forcing the Dominions to present a unified front.
Initially a mere common defence alliance, the Commonwealth has evolved into a political and economic organisation, with some saying that
its a quasi-superstate that covers 1/3rd of the globe

to newly formed schools, or schools that may request for them. While displaying the photo is not mandatory, it is always encouraged.

However, Commissioner Chris Tang of the Royal Hong Kong Police has said that the actions against the students was "overboard and unauthorised", and that
he has been "instructed by Governor Carrie Lam to cooperate fully in investigating the situation". Governor Lam has said that such "behaviour towards students
