Date Posted: 12:09:14 12/29/04 Wed If we had greater Commonwealth co-operation, the Indian Ocean would be on its way to being one of the world’s most vibrant zones of democracy and development, led by closer ties between Australia, India and South Africa. The ocean is bordered by 13 Commonwealth countries (Australia, South Africa, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Mauritius, Seychelles, Maldives, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Malaysia) and these are bordered by a further 10 Commonwealth countries (Singapore, Brunei, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland and Lesotho). This is by far the greatest concentration of Commonwealth presence on the planet, and should be a proving ground for cooperative development strategies. Instead – as is most painfully the case in Zimbabwe – it has become a proving ground for irrelevance, cowardice and the path of least resistance. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 15:47:12 12/30/04 Thu As the present Commonwealth organisation comprises 30% of the world's population, it cannot hope to be any more effective than the UN when dealing with difficult issues. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
