PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, November 27, 2009 - Commonwealth Heads of Government begin their three-day meeting in Trinidad and Tobago today with the issue of climate change set to overshadow everything else on their agenda.
Leaders of the 53-nation grouping are expected to outline their positions on the matter soon after the opening ceremony, host Prime Minister Patrick Manning said.

 

The meeting is normally a conference bringing together leaders from Britain and its former colonies. But this time around it has attracted French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and there have been reports that US President Barack Obama as well as his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao may also make the trip, along with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriquez Zapetero of Spain.
