The January 1966 Commonwealth Prime Ministers' Conference was the 15th Meeting of the Heads of Government of the Commonwealth of Nations. It was the first such meeting to be held outside of the United Kingdom, being held in Lagos, Nigeria, and was hosted by Nigerian Prime Minister Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa.
The sole purpose of the meeting was to discuss the unrecognised white minority ruled Rhodesia and the means by which multi-racial rule could be achieved.[1][2]
