A delegation from the Royal College of Defence Studies (RCDS), which is a distinguished programme for strategic leadership run by the UK Ministry of Defence, visited the Isle of Man this week (October 17-19) for the first time in 20 years.
The group comprised senior military and diplomatic officials, and the visit allowed delegates to gain an appreciation of the Island's governance, constitutional relationship with the UK, regulatory framework and economy.
Those visiting included, programme leader Lt. Gen Sir George Norton, as well as delegates of over 15 countries from around the world.
During the visit, the group was honoured with a reception hosted by the Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man, His Excellency Lt General Sir John Lorimer, who himself is an alumnus of the RCDS programme.
His Excellency said: “As a previous participant in the RCDS course, I was delighted to welcome the group to the Island, and to support their visit. It was particularly heartening to hear the positive comments from the group members, and I am confident that they will take away a great impression of what our Island does, and what it has to offer.”
