The Forum
promotes practices and policies for the enhancement of global
trade and investment. It provides new opportunities for business
networking and partnerships, drawing on the Commonwealth’s comparative
advantage in areas such as services, information and communications
technology, banking and financial services, manufacturing, agriculture
and natural resources.
The
last two CBFs were held in Malta (2005) and Uganda (2007), and
each constituted the biggest business conferences ever held
in those countries. Speakers at previous CBFs have included

UK; John Howard, PM Australia; Jean Chretien, PM Canada; Thabo
