The Meaning of CHOGM The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) is a biennial summit meeting of the heads of government from all Commonwealth nations. Every two years the meeting is held in a different member state, and is chaired by that nation's respective Prime Minister or President. Most meetings include an appearance by Queen Elizabeth II who is the Head of the Commonwealth. The most recent CHOGM took place in Kampala, Uganda in 2007. It was chaired by President Museveni and attended by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll. Most of the principal guests, including many Presidents and Prime Ministers, stayed at Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort and many of the meeetings were held in the conference rooms at Speke Resort & Conference Centre. CHOGMs bring together almost one third of the world's leaders, mostly Prime Ministers and Presidents. A CHOGM is arguably the only international forum where such a diverse group of countries come together to adopt common positions through consensus.
