Hello,
What does the expression "flag off" mean here?
A high-level 15 member delegation of business leaders and government officials from the State of Gujarat will flag off its UAE tour in Dubai starting 25th September 2010. The 5 day tour comprises meetings with companies, organisations and institutions in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi.
Thanks
