How many member countries of commonwealth

The Commonwealth of Nations, normally known as the Commonwealth, and historically the British Commonwealth, is a unique political association of 53 member states, nearly all of them former territories of the British Empire. The Commonwealth was created in the early 1900s when nations that were formerly a part of the British Empire began to secede with its main goal being easing the process of British decolonization. The current Commonwealth of Nations was formally constituted by the London Declaration in 1949, which modernised the community, and established the member states as ‘free and equal’.






Leaders of member countries shape Commonwealth policies and priorities. Every two years, they meet to discuss issues affecting the Commonwealth and the wider world at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).

All members have an equal say – regardless of size or economic stature. This ensures even the smallest member countries have a voice in shaping the Commonwealth.
