What is Commonwealth Games
2010 ?
The commonwealth is NOT a political union of any
sort, and it does not allow exercise of any power
over the affairs of the organization's members.
As it looks like, the organization is not made to
influence any country economically or politically or
to practice the strength of one country over the other
but it is meant to establish and strengthen a friendly
relationship between the member countries to help
each others in future.
