One of the main issues discussed when His Excellency Governor Ric Todd hosted Wednesday’s meeting of TCI’s Cabinet, was the need to have a National Protocol Policy.
It noted that most governments have in place formal policies and procedures which prescribe the various protocols to be used at official events and when hosting foreign dignitaries, as well as the proper use of the national flag and coat of arms by both government and the private sector.
In order to avoid the risk of inconsistency, Cabinet agreed that a comprehensive Protocol Policy and Implementation Handbook should be developed, along with official guidance on the appropriate use of the TCI flag and coat of arms.
The Premier of the TCI, Hon. Dr. Rufus Ewing spoke more about this eventuality during a post cabinet press briefing, held at the Tourist Board’s Conference Room in Providenciales yesterday.
