‘Together We Thrive’ announced as the theme for Commonwealth Day 2025

The Commonwealth Secretary-General, Rt Hon Patricia Scotland KC, has announced ‘Together We Thrive’ as the theme for Commonwealth Day 2025, which will be celebrated on Monday, 10 March. Events throughout March will include civic and faith gatherings, school assemblies, debates, flag-raising ceremonies, and cultural celebrations across the Commonwealth.

This year’s theme celebrates the unity of the 56 Commonwealth nations, highlighting shared values of family, peace, and progress. Patricia Scotland said, “Commonwealth Day reaffirms our commitment to unity, peace, and equality, with ‘Together We Thrive’ embodying the strength of our global family.”

The Commonwealth Advantage, a 21% reduction in trade costs between member states, reflects their shared commitment to democracy and sustainable development.

In London, events will include a reception for member-state representatives and a multi-faith service at Westminster Abbey. The Commonwealth Secretariat’s website will provide resources for global celebrations, including a new logo, educational materials, and a social media toolkit. As the Commonwealth celebrates, it reaffirms its goal of creating a future where all 2.7 billion citizens live in safe, equitable societies united by peace and partnership.

Grenada introduces citizenship by invitation initiative to foster economic growth and strategic development

The Investment Migration Agency of Grenada (IMA) has introduced the Citizenship by Invitation Initiative, a selective programme designed to attract high-calibre global leaders who can contribute to Grenada’s economic growth, innovation, and global partnerships.

Developed with Arton Capital and Forbes Global Talent, the initiative invites strategic investors in key sectors such as technology, renewable energy, and infrastructure, ensuring Grenada’s CBI programme remains competitive while maintaining the highest due diligence standards.

“This is about more than investment—it’s about partnership and progress,” said IMA CEO Thomas Anthony, emphasising the focus on sustainable growth. Armand Arton, CEO of Arton Capital, noted the programme’s efficiency compared to global counterparts. By attracting top business leaders, the initiative supports local entrepreneurs, fosters knowledge transfer, and strengthens Grenada’s international ties, securing long-term benefits for the nation.

Grenada Independence Day

Grenada Independence Day

Independence Day in Grenada is a vibrant national holiday celebrated with patriotic events, including parades, cultural performances, and flag-raising ceremonies. Citizens proudly wear red, gold, and green—the colours of the national flag—while schools and communities organise special programmes reflecting on the nation’s history, achievements, and cultural heritage.

Shops, schools, and banks close for the occasion, and the festivities attract both locals and tourists, who join in the celebrations. People dress up, visit loved ones, and commemorate the nation’s struggle for freedom. However, if the holiday falls on a weekend, the following Monday is not observed as a public holiday. Beyond the celebrations, the day serves as an opportunity to honour Grenada’s journey to independence, recognising its resilience, unity, and cultural identity as a nation.
