The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking to encourage the maximum ministerial representation from across Commonwealth member states at the Commonwealth Games in the UK.

Answered by Chris Elmore

The Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) is working closely with the Glasgow 2026 organisers, the Commonwealth Secretariat, Commonwealth Sport, and the Commonwealth network to encourage strong ministerial participation at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

The FCDO has reached out to High Commissioners, and supported several engagements with Commonwealth governments through our global network, to encourage maximum ministerial representation at the Games and the Commonwealth Secretariats Sports Ministers Meeting.
