Burnham to set out ‘new era’ and debt reset for struggling Commonwealth

In a bid to revitalize the struggling Commonwealth, Prime Minister Burnham is planning to announce a "new era" that includes a debt reset for member countries. This move follows growing calls for a formal apology from Britain regarding its historical involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. The initiative underscores a shift in addressing colonial legacies and fostering economic stability within the Commonwealth, highlighting the significance of acknowledging past wrongs to build a more equitable future.
