Commonwealth Day 2005, ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN


The Commonwealth Day is celebrated each year on the second Monday in March. Its purpose is to promote understanding about global issues, international co-operation and the work of the modern Commonwealth. It also aims to increase the involvement and knowledge of young people about the Commonwealth through cultural exchange. It is a medium for bridging the future and reducing regional conflicts by advancing cultural understanding.

Each year a different theme is chosen for Commonwealth Day by the Joint Commonwealth Societies’ Council, which is made up of more than 20 Commonwealth organisations. These themes are aimed at helping the citizens of the Commonwealth to appreciate their diversity and work together.
