Commonwealth Jewish Council

Diplomacy

The CJC was honoured to attend a remarkable performance by the Antigua and Barbuda Youth Symphony Orchestra(ABYSO), hosted by Her Excellency Karen-Mae Hill OBE, High Commissioner of Antigua and Barbuda. A celebration of talent, culture and youth excellence.

We were honoured to meet Brunei's Deputy High Commissioner. From interfaith dialogue to environmental resilience: a meaningful conversation about shared values, challenges, and the power of religious communities in the Commonwealth. As the only faith-based voice in the Commonwealth, the CJC is proud to continue building bridges.

We had a great meeting with Stephen Twigg, the Secretary General of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. Watch this space as exciting plans are afoot! The CJC is committed to continuing to raise the banner for religion within the Commonwealth spheres.
