Will looking to its past help Britain’s future?
Britain is working to strengthen its economic and political ties with the Commonwealth.
The UK is on course to break away from the European Union, so it is looking for economic and political opportunities elsewhere.
One important tool is the Commonwealth – an organisation made up of former British colonies created 87 years ago.
The British government says it will try to “revitalise” the Commonwealth and increase trade with its member states.
Can the Commonwealth help a post-Brexit UK economy?
