Commonwealth Day Message 1988

FROM HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN

HEAD OF THE COMMONWEALTH

This second Monday in March is the day which we celebrate every year as Commonwealth Day. It is our special opportunity to think about this group of nations and what it means to us. On this day we should all look beyond our own horizons and stretch our understanding of the value of the Commonwealth.

Its strength lies not just in its numbers—we are a world-wide family of a billion people—but rather in its shared ideals, its voluntary organisation, the group in which we can feel comfortable, is where we can look to our friends for support and understanding and for help in finding the answers to our common problems.

Every year there are many Commonwealth meetings. These bring together all sorts of people—ministers and mariners, teachers and traders, pharmacists and farmers—all working together the more easily because they share a common language. Agreement on all subjects may not always be possible but understanding and mutual benefit are always the goals.

At the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Vancouver last year this search for co-operative effort brought practical decisions in many areas including more help for those in need of food and shelter. I was specially interested in the decision to create a Commonwealth-wide distance learning system at college and university level to bring new opportunities for higher education to our young people and adults throughout the Commonwealth.

For the future, we must listen as well as speak to each other and so learn tolerance through understanding. If we always look for those things which unite us, whether shared hopes or shared fears, the Commonwealth link will come to mean even more to us.

I urge you to keep faith in the Commonwealth: it can and will continue to serve the world well.
