Under Narendra Modi, India Can Become a ‘Jewel’ in the Commonwealth, But Does it Matter?

Most members of the Commonwealth found other multilateral organisations such as UN, African Union, organizations of Pacific Island States or in the Caribbean to be more relevant.

Both the U.K. and India, for their own different reasons, are giving enhanced attention to this year’s Commonwealth Summit in London on April 19- 20 — a grouping long perceived as a biennial talk shop with no sustained purpose.

Why is Prime Minister Narendra Modi going there? No Indian PM has attended it since 2009.
