Commonwealth sports ministers will focus on the important contribution of sport and physical activity to development efforts in member countries.
On 21 July 2014, sports ministers will meet in Glasgow for the seventh Commonwealth Sports Ministers Meeting. The meeting is held every two years alongside the Commonwealth Games or Summer Olympics and Paralympics Games.
The meeting focuses on issues affecting the integrity of sport, as well as the important contribution of sport and physical activity to development and peace-building efforts - a field known as Sport for Development and Peace (SDP).
The meeting provides a valuable opportunity to consider the collective progress of Commonwealth member countries in these areas. Ministers and delegates discuss work carried out in the preceding two years and agree action for the next two years.
