Malta stop-over for the Queen

According to an official Buckingham Palace announcement, Queen Elisabeth is due to make a short stop-over in Malta on 20 November on her way to the CHOGM Commonwealth summit in Uganda. From United Business Media:

The Queen, accompanied by The Duke of Edinburgh, will visit Malta and continue to Uganda for a State Visit followed by the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) during the period Tuesday, 20th November to Saturday, 24th November. This visit will include the Opening Ceremony of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting on Friday, 23rd November, and other events linked to CHOGM.

A meeting of the Commonwealth Heads of Government is normally held once every two years. Since 1997, The Queen attends the opening ceremony, but not the sessions; HM is normally present in the host country at the time of the conference. The Queen has a private meeting with Commonwealth countries' leaders whom she has not yet met during their term of office, hosts a dinner for the heads of the CHOGM delegations, and also attends a reception during the conference period...
