Chief Minister of Gibraltar Peter Caruana is to propose to Parliament that Kaiane Aldorino receive the Honorary Freedom of the City of Gibraltar, and in turn the Gibraltar Medallion of Honour for "her extraordinary personal achievement in becoming Miss World 2009 and for the enormous pride and global recognition that her achievement has represented for Gibraltar as a whole."
Only the second individual to receive the Freedom of the City of Gibraltar, Kaiane said she was "overwhelmed by the news. It is a great honour as a very proud Gibraltarian, and something I never expected, and to achieve this so soon as well. I have received many messages of congratulations and my family are extremely happy."
The motion will be supported by the Opposition when it comes before Parliament, who added: "When Kaiane won the Miss World Crown it was a remarkable achievement for such a small territory as Gibraltar and she proved to be a wonderful ambassador for her country. This is the very least that we can do to thank her for putting Gibraltar on the map."
