President Maithripala Sirisena will fly to Malta on November 26, 2015 to attend the 2015 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, which is to be held between November 27-29 in the country.

Sirisena is the Chairman of the Commonwealth of Nations and will handover it to Malta at the 2015 CHOGM. Sri Lanka hosted CHOGM in 2013 when former President Mahinda Rajapaksa was in power.

Originally Mauritius was to host the 2015 CHOGM, but lost the honor to host the event since its head of government boycotted the meeting in Sri Lanka.
