Also, at the meeting of the delegation, it is necessary to prepare a car that will deliver the foreigner to his place of residence for the time of the planned events. The right side in the back seat of the vehicle is considered a place of honor.
If a lady is present in the delegation, then she must be represented first. Accordingly, all services provided should be offered primarily to the fair sex.

Officially authorized persons must ensure that delegates are comfortably accommodated and do not have any complaints.
Delegation business etiquette
