Foreign affairs minister inaugurates new Kuwait embassy in Malta

Foreign Affairs Minister George Vella inaugurated the new premises of the Embassy of the State of Kuwait in Malta.

"The intensification of bilateral contacts between our two countries has been greatly enhanced, notably in recent years, with twelve agreements signed since 2010," Vella said.

"The establishment of Kuwait's representation in Malta on 5 May 2011, followed by the establishment of Malta's Embassy in Kuwait City on 18 September 2012, further testifies our growing level of friendly relations and cooperation."

Vella said that despite the different realities, the two countries have expressed and extended mutual solidarity when the occasion presented itself.

Malta acknowledged Kuwait's need for political support in the wake of the Iraqi occupation and annexation of the Gulf State.

"This support has been translated into tangible and active cooperation in recent years," the minister said.

Even since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Malta and Kuwait on 3 October 1972, both countries focused on further reinforcing bilateral relations between each other on all fronts.  

"We now look forward to more high level talks, so that discussions may continue on how to reap maximum advantage from the amplification of relations between our two countries," the Minister said.

Ambassador Faisal Sulaiman Ali Al-Musaileen thanked Vella and expressed his wish that the relations between both countries continue to develop.
