Council of Gondwana: Difference between revisions

 

Several countries joined the Gondwanan Community, but participation was limited by the mandates required for membership in the first Aslough Accords. In 1999, a second summit was held in Aslough to create the modern Council of Gondwana. In contrast to the Gondwanan Community, the Council of Gondwana does not require tariff-free trade with other members, nor does it require member states to remove border controls. The Council of Gondwana serves primarily as a forum for participating states to address issues of regional concern, and to encourage further voluntary political, military, and economic cooperation. The Gondwanan Community continues to exist as a part of the Council of Gondwana that members can choose to join as a higher level of integration.
