@Babe:1. In a formal event, the diplomatic protocol is for the guest of honor to shake hand with the host first.
2. The host will then introduce his staff one by one and shake hands.
3. Else it breach a diplomatic protocol.
4. Any Foreign Head of State shake hand with guard that open the car door without shaking the host Head of State?

@Babe:@Babe:In informal meet the resident session, then shake hand with any residents that come to you first.
But this is a formal business event.
Hence following the correct diplomatic protocol is more important.

@Babe:Failure to do so in a formal event, breach diplomatic protocol.

@Babe:1. What the MOS did is following a proper diplomatic protocol in a formal event.
2. The clan members didn't follow a proper diplomatic protocol.

@Babe:Uncle got a big heart.

@Babe:1. So shake hand with a guard 1st to indicate he more senior than the Head of State - is correct diplomatic protocol?
2. To shake hands with the senior 1st, means she treat the host as more junior? Correct protocol?

@Babe:1. Go to take a course on business social etiquette when organizing a business events.
2. Go to take a course on proper government diplomatic protocol etiquette if organizing a government events before criticizing.

@Babe:Shame on the social media without establishing the right protocol before jumping into conclusion.

@Babe:When receiving a minister at a formal event, proper etiquette is crucial. Here's how to handle car door opening, receiving the minister, and introducing company staff:

Receiving the Minister
- *Designate a Point of Contact*: Appoint a senior staff member or protocol officer to receive the minister and handle introductions.
- *Respectful Greeting*: Greet the minister with a respectful bow or handshake, using their title (e.g., "The Honorable") and surname.
- *Escorting the Minister*: Escort the minister to the event venue, ensuring they are accompanied at all times.

Opening Car Door
- *Designate a Person*: Assign a staff member or driver to open the car door for the minister.
- *Protocol*: The person opening the door should stand at the door, greet the minister, and allow them to exit the vehicle.

Introducing Company Staff
- *Prepare a Brief Introduction*: Prepare a brief introduction of company staff who will interact with the minister, including their role and title.
- *Use Formal Titles*: Use formal titles (e.g., Mr./Ms./Mrs./Dr.) and surnames when introducing staff to the minister.
- *Be Mindful of Hierarchy*: Introduce staff in order of seniority, with the most senior staff member introduced first ¹.

Additional Tips
- *Be Respectful*: Maintain a respectful demeanor and tone when interacting with the minister.
- *Follow Protocol Guidelines*: Familiarize yourself with specific protocol guidelines provided by the minister's office or government agency.
- *Ensure Smooth Logistics*: Ensure all logistical arrangements, including transportation and venue setup, are well-planned and executed.

@Babe:1. Conversely if the Minister shaking hands with everybody else and reserve the last handshake to the host or CEO, by not following diplomatic protocol - everyone think is ok?

It becomes a big slap on the host face who invited you.

Hence observing diplomatic protocol etiquette is imperative in a formal event.

What's wrong with that?
