The ministerial meeting will be preceded by a Commonwealth (Latimer House) Principles colloquium, organised by the Latimer House Working Group and Commonwealth Legal Partner Organisations. These Commonwealth principles set out the relationship between the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government in member countries.
