Empire Parliamentary Association (1911) changed to Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (1948)

 

The CPA was founded as the Empire Parliamentary Association in 1911, with its first branches being Australia, Canada, Newfoundland, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom, the latter branch administering the Association as a whole.    In 1948 the Association changed its name to the current Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, and invited all branches to participate in the organisation’s administration.

The Charter brings together the values and aspirations which unite the Commonwealth – democracy, human rights and the rule of law – in a single, accessible document.   The Charter expresses the commitment of member states to the development of free and democratic societies and the promotion of peace and prosperity to improve the lives of all peoples of the Commonwealth.   The Charter also acknowledges the role of civil society in supporting the goals and values of the Commonwealth.

Not so long ago – Cyril Ramaphosa paid  a courtesy call on Her Majesty the Queen at the Windsor Castle during a working visit to London to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM 2018) taking place on 19-20 April 2018.   This is the place of “gold”.   Where did they get the gold?   Pictures of a puzzle will fit in.
