The 2024 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (Samoan: 2024 Fonotaga a Ulu o Malo o le Taupulega), also known as CHOGM 2024, was the 27th meeting of the heads of government of the Commonwealth of Nations. The meeting was held in Samoa from 25–26 October 2024 and was preceded by ministerial meetings, fora and side events which had begun on 21 October 2024.[1][2][3]
The meeting was the first full Commonwealth summit held since the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022 and the first presided over by King Charles III as Head of the Commonwealth.[4] It was also the first Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting held in a Pacific Small Island Developing State.[5] The King's trip to the South Pacific, which included a tour of Australia prior to the Commonwealth summit in Samoa, was his first major overseas trip since his cancer diagnosis in early 2024.[6]
