I. Introduction by the Commonwealth:

Commonwealth (English) is an international organization composed of 53 independent sovereign countries (including territories), most of which are former British colonies or protectorates.

The head of the Commonwealth is Queen Elizabeth II, who is also the head of 16 Commonwealth countries including Britain (nominally, the British monarch has no real power and has no right to interfere in the internal affairs of member countries). This 16 country constitutes a modern version of the * * * main confederation. After the Queen's death, Britain's Crown Prince Charles will become the head of the Commonwealth.

Second, the main organizations are:

Ministerial professional meetings such as the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in the Asia-Pacific Region, and the Federal Finance Ministers Meeting. The Commonwealth Secretariat was established in 1965, and its responsibility is to promote Commonwealth cooperation and plan Commonwealth meetings at all levels. The secretariat is located in London.

Third, the Commonwealth has played a role:

1. The Commonwealth is a unique experiment of international cooperation, which promotes cooperation among ethnic groups from different races, cultures and environments. All member countries enjoy equal status, but Britain often plays a leading role in dealing with Commonwealth affairs.

2. The member states discuss and cooperate in many fields, including trade, finance, national defense, education, technology, scientific research, law, medicine and agriculture. However, the main benefits enjoyed by member countries are the economic effects brought by various trade agreements and capital investment distribution.

3. Britain and other rich old member countries are the main sources of funds for industrial development in newly joined or poor member countries. The aid project is implemented by the Commonwealth Development Corporation (CDC) and other institutions. ?

4. Some member countries implement tariff preferences with each other according to the Commonwealth preferential system to promote their trade. 1973, Britain joined the European Union (now the European Union) and introduced the Commonwealth preferential system. According to the agreement, other Commonwealth member countries can negotiate special trade agreements with the EU.
