Nassau, New Providence, The Bahamas – Mrs. Jenesta Messam has been appointed Honorary Consul of The Bahamas to the Turks and Caicos Islands today.
Mrs. Messam, who previously served as TCI’s Chief Protocol Officer received her letters of appointment from Director General HE Jerusa Ali in a brief ceremony attended by HC Messam’s Family and Bahamas Ministry of Foreign Affairs Staff.
The Bahamas has a shared history and heritage with TCI dating back over two centuries ago when Great Britain governed the Islands as a part of The Bahamas until Bahamian independence in 1973 when TCI remained a British Overseas Territory. Despite the change in governance, The Bahamas retains close familial and cultural ties with our neighbor to the south.
In her role as Honorary Consul, Mrs. Messam will ensure the well-being of Bahamians in the territory while promoting cultural closeness and collaboration between our neighboring archipelagos.
