Malta's representation at Mother Theresa's Funeral

In a message to the Deputy Prime Minister, the Hon. George Vella, Ambassador Emanuel Farrugia, Malta's representative at Mother Theresa's funeral in Calcutta, said he had registered a complaint with the Indian Chief of Protocol in New Delhi as to why he was not informed beforehand that he would be called to lay a wreath at Mother Theresa's funeral ceremony which he had just attended.

The Chief of Protocol apologised on behalf of his staff who had forgotten to advise the Ambassador accordingly.

It was the Indian Protocol section which had provided the wreaths to all the distinguished heads of delegation at the funeral ceremony.
