Here is the full statement from the Commonwealth Secretariat

As result of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, it is necessary to postpone the 26th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) scheduled to take place in Kigali, Rwanda on 22 – 27 June 2020.

The 26th CHOGM and associated events will be held in Kigali at a time to be announced in due course.

This decision was made in accordance with the 2005 Memorandum of Understanding Establishing the Commonwealth Secretariat and the CHOGM Technical Manual, as well as with precedent.

His Excellency Paul Kagame, President of Rwanda said, “In the coming months, every Commonwealth nation will be fully focused on combatting Covid-19 and its socio-economic impact on our people. Our organisation’s deep reservoirs of solidarity and expertise will be invaluable tools as we work together globally to ensure no country is left behind. We look forward to welcoming the Commonwealth family to Kigali for CHOGM once the pandemic has been defeated.”

Commonwealth Secretary-General, The Rt. Hon. Patricia Scotland QC said, “The COVID-19 Pandemic has changed the course of our modern history. Lives have been lost, economies are shrinking, and livelihoods have been shattered. It is difficult to predict what the new normal will look like. We must be mindful of the risks large meetings pose to all. The current circumstances require heroic decisions. We stand together with Rwanda, and thank all our member countries and, in particular the United Kingdom as our Chair in Office, who have suffered so grievously, for the support and commitment they have shown in these trying times. I too warmly look forward to reuniting with the Commonwealth family, face-to-face, in the beautiful country of Rwanda.”

  486. There are many reasons why many people play at online casinos. Most of these casino websites are known for the wide variety of games they offer, often surpassing the number of games that can be found in land-based casinos. Also, one of the factors that online casino players enjoy is the bonuses and promotions that they offer. Stake.us is one of the best social casinos around, thanks to the fact that it’s filled with tons of casino games. When you’re offered a welcome bonus, the chances are that you’ll need to make a deposit into your real money account in order to receive something back. For example, if you’re offered a 100% welcome bonus up to R1,000, you’ll need to deposit anything up to R1,000 and the online casino will give you another R1,000 to play with. This is why it’s called a match bonus – the casino matches your deposit with a certain percentage.

    Playing online slots for real money has its constellation of advantages and disadvantages. The first ones are based on the ability of gamblers to receive real funds and quickly withdraw them by a method convenient for them. The shortcomings are due to mandatory wagering for all bonus offers, such as deposit and without deposit. In these cases, the gambling project gives the player its funds and wants to get them back. Next, we will describe the advantages and disadvantages of playing for real money in online slots. You’re likely familiar with progressive slots if you’ve played games like Megabucks in Atlantic City. A progressive slot features a special jackpot that grows every time you pay in. The longer that no one claims the jackpot, the bigger it gets. Casino games that have demonstration modes included are almost the same as the real money versions. The animations, payouts, and frequencies are usually equivalent to the real deal.
