Order of precedence
Who ranks where at state and national ceremonies, as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes it: the President first, then the Vice President, the Speaker and the Chief Justice.
This is the order used to seat and receive office holders at state and national ceremonies. It ranks offices, not people. Each office is written exactly as the Ministry prints it.
