BRITISH High Commissioner to Trinidad and Tobago, Jon Dean says TT will be the first country to kick off the King’s Baton Relay for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. It also has the honour of designing the artwork of the baton used in the relay.

Dean made the revelation at a reception for Commonwealth Day, which was recognised on March 10, at the residence of the British High Commissioner in Maraval on March 11 in collaboration with the Commonwealth Games Association of TT.

“This occasion brings us together as a family of nations, bound by shared history, values, and a commitment to a better future. The Commonwealth is more than a network of 56 nations, it is a force for progress, unity and collaboration in an increasingly complex world.”
