Answer
The process for The Gambia's re-entry into the Commonwealth is being led by the Commonwealth Secretariat. We have been consistent and vocal in our support. Our High Commission in Banjul met the Commonwealth Secretariat's assessment mission in September and is engaging with the Government and other member states' representatives on the ground as the process moves forward. We look forward to welcoming The Gambia to the Commonwealth Summit next year.
