The lengthy communiqué from the leaders published at the end of the two-day Commonwealth Heads of Government (COHGAM) summit, 2018 have backed the forums on women, business, youth and civil society but was strikingly short on detail and vision when it came to the issue of migration. Immigration has long been an issue for the Commonwealth as it has for other multinational bodies, but in the wake of the rise of populist forces around the world, and the supposed opportunity the Commonwealth offered as a ___(A)___ against these, the 2018 summit could have presented an opportunity for it (its Western powers in particular) to send a signal that it stood for something different. Sending a message of openness would have indicated a real willingness to revisit and ___(B)___ the organisation. This was all the more so as Commonwealth proponents have sought to make trade a key plank for it to be a ___(C)___ against protectionist moves elsewhere. Yet labour ___(D)___, a demand of businesses globally and certainly of India’s IT sector, was nowhere to be seen in the ___(E)___ of pledges around cleaning up the oceans, cyber security, and pledges to raise intra-Commonwealth trade to $2 trillion by 2030. The summit had been pegged as a game changer for a number of reasons, depending on who you asked. For Britain, Brexit had made the quest for non-European Union partnerships particularly ___(F)___ while the attendance by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was widely hailed as an example of the new importance accorded to it by India, one of the largest economies in the Commonwealth. At the same time, the summit came at a time of growing youth-led decolonisation movements globally, not least in Britain where students and sections of civil society have questioned the legacy of the empire and emphasised Britain’s need to demonstrate it had truly moved on. Britain had quickly sought to distance itself from “Empire 2.0”, the title disparagingly given by civil servants to the aspirations of some Conservative party politicians for a post-Brexit Commonwealth trade ___(G)___ with Africa.Yet if there had been any doubt about the sense of entitlement with which Britain viewed its position within the Commonwealth, it would have evaporated as Queen Elizabeth II made an extraordinary ___(H)___ on the first day of the summit, making clear her “expressed wish” that her son follow her as head of the community. Leaders duly complied, announcing that Prince Charles would indeed succeed his mother. While details of the discussions were kept as ___(I)___ as possible, aside from the insistence it was eventually unanimous (so much for the transparency that was also ___(J)___ in the course of the summit), there seemed little excitement and more a sense of grudging acceptance at the prospect of the new leadership. Overall there was a sense of being out of touch. The summit was punctuated by rituals and ceremonies out of date with where the world has headed. There were also national interests furthered. India, for one, has very specific ambitions within the Commonwealth, centered around small island states that form the bulk of the members (and to the cynical, UN votes aplenty to be got on board).
