On November 12, 2023, H.E. Ambassador Baraka Luvanda joined other Ambassadors and Diplomats of the Commonwealth Member Countries in a remembrance ceremony to honor the memory of Commonwealth servicemen and servicewomen who lost their lives in the World Wars and other conflicts. The event was held at the Commonwealth War Cemetery in Hodogaya, Yokohama, and hosted by the New Zealand Embassy.

The event also provided a valuable opportunity to reflect on past and current conflicts, and to celebrate the historical and contemporary relationships with friends and allies of the Commonwealth.
