EAM will be in Kigali from 23rd June to 25th of June for the summit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Pakistan will be represented by Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina R Khar. Initially Pakistani foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto was to represent his country, but due to some personal issues he is skipping the mega meet. If FM Bhutto had gone, this would have been for the first time both External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar and Pakistan's new Foreign Minister would have been present at any summit together. Last year EAM Jaishankar and the then Pakistani FM SM Qureshi were present together in Tajikistan's capital Dushanbe for a meet on Afghanistan.</p>

<p>Sri Lankan foreign minister Prof. GL Peiris and Bangladeshi FM AK Momen will also be present, a bilateral with the Indian side cannot be ruled out. Remember over the weekend, Bangladeshi FM was in Delhi for a joint consultative commission meet.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Maldives President's presence is important given that the country rejoined the grouping in 2020. Maldives President Yameen had pulled out of the 54-member grouping in 2016 after the Commonwealth criticised his government over his authoritarian actions back home, like the detention of opposition leaders and undermining the judiciary.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Leaders of Commonwealth countries meet every two years for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM). Since 1971, a total of 24 summits have been held, with the most recent being in British Capital London in 2018. PM Modi had attended the meet that time. The 2015 Commonwealth summit in Malta saw India being represented by the then EAM Sushma Swaraj.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Rwanda is decked up as the country is ready to welcome the largest gathering of world leaders the African continent has seen in years. For Rwanda's President Paul Kagame it will be a moment to show his country's progress and economic growth. Almost 35 heads of state are expected, while other representations are at the foreign and official levels. Of the 54 countries, 53 are attending with Nauru excusing itself due to elections.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“We expect 35 Heads of State and other high profile guests representing countries and organisations. We will also have First Ladies and in total, we expect over 5,000 people,” said Minister of State for Foreign Affairs of Rwanda Prof. Nshuti Manasseh who was quoted in Rwanda's KT Press.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Brunei is represented by its Sultan, Eswatini by its king Mswati III even though 14 countries will be present at the Presidential level, 17 at the Prime ministerial level, and 10 at the foreign minister-level.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Countries represented at the Prime Minister level include Mauritius by PM Pravind Kumar, the UK by PM Boris Johnson, and Canada by PM Justin Trudeau. Countries represented by the foreign minister level are Malaysia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Malawi. Australia is represented by Deputy PM Richard Marles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been rocked after a female cricketer levelled shocking allegations against a national-level coach in the country. The female cricketer alleged the coach got close to her with promises of selection in a domestic women's team and allegedly sexually molested her. The cricketer has registered a complaint with the police while PCB has also taken cognizance of the matter.</p>

<p>The cricketer has accused Nadeem Iqbal, a national-level coach in Pakistan of molesting her. As per reports in the Pakistani media, Nadeem, a former first-class cricketer, was one of the coaches when PCB women's trials were conducted in Multan a few years ago. The cricketer had gone there for trails where she met Nadeem.</p>

<p>She revealed the coach promised her selection in the team and also employment on the board before molesting her. She also claimed that Nadeem later also involved his friends and recorded videos of&nbsp;her to blackmail her with the footage.</p>
