HRH Prince Davit Bagration of Mukhrani and Georgia, Head of the Royal House of Georgia, visited Hong Kong and Macao for the inaugural investiture and gala dinner of the Greater China Rectory.
A highlight of the Macao programme was the presentation of the Heritage Award by the Sino-Phil Asia International Peace Awards Foundation. Presented by Billy Chan, Chairman of the Foundation’s Board, the honour recognised His Royal Highness’s humanitarian service and commitment to peace and cultural heritage. The Foundation highlighted his support for Operation Snow Leopard, which assisted civilians at risk in Afghanistan, and the Royal House’s engagement at United Nations Headquarters on genocide prevention.
Established in Manila, the Foundation recognises individuals and institutions whose achievements contribute to peace and human welfare. Its awards span fields including education, healthcare, philanthropy, public service and the arts, reflecting the many ways in which service to others can advance peace.
The presentation brought an additional distinction to a visit marking the Greater China Rectory’s first investiture and gala dinner. A fuller account of these inaugural events and the Royal Visit to Hong Kong and Macao will be published on this website soon.
