Gabon’s President, Ali Bongo Ondimba has said the country could join the Commonwealth during the upcoming summit in Kigali, Rwanda.

President Bongo held talks with the Commonwealth’s Secretary General, Patricia Scotland.

He said the integration of Gabon into the Commonwealth “would be a historical milestone”.

The president then went on to meet Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, to discuss environmental issues.

The Commonwealth describes itself as an association of 54 countries with shared goals such as development, democracy and peace.

It was initially for countries that had once been part of the British Empire but today any country can join.

The last country that joined was Rwanda in 2009.
