Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar is a patron of Panorama 2011.
The Prime Minister on Friday met with members of the Pan Trinbago Executive in Parliament and accepted the offer to be a patron.
"Our Government is committed to supporting the Arts and we will render assistance where possible," she told members of Pan Trinbago's executive.
She reaffirmed Government's commitment to Pan Trinbago, noting the $7.2 million allocated to the organisation for its headquarters. This is the first time ever that Pan Trinbago has been allotted funds from the national budget for the purpose of building its headquarters.
Pan Trinbago received its last major boost from Government in 2001 when it was given land in Trincity to construct its headquarters.
Persad-Bissessar also urged Pan Trinbago to submit a proposal for its pan factory for Cabinet's consideration. www.panapparels.com
