The launch of the 60th-anniversary theme and logo will be shared with the public in the coming weeks and updates.
Government also plans to launch a National Logo, 60th-anniversary commemorative stamps and commemorative coins. Minister of Housing and Urban Development Camille Robinson-Regis will head the ministerial committee in charge of the plans.
“While 60 years is still relatively young for any country, Trinidad and Tobago has achieved more than most in those 60 years, and this will be reflected in these events,” Robinson-Regis said in the release.
Government has not revealed the exact dates for any of the anniversary events.
