From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
High Commissioner of the United Kingdom to Trinidad and Tobago
is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in the
Republic of Trinidad and Tobago
.
Countries belonging to the
Commonwealth of Nations
exchange
High Commissioners
rather than
Ambassadors
. Though there are a few technical differences (for instance, whereas Ambassadors present their
diplomatic credentials
to the host country's
head of state
, High Commissioners are accredited to the
head of government
), in practice they have the same function.
Trinidad and Tobago were British colonies from 1802 to 1964, when the combined country gained independence from Britain and joined the Commonwealth.
From 1974 until 1980, the British High Commissioner to Trinidad and Tobago also served as
non-resident
High Commissioner to
Grenada
.
