New Kuwait embassy inaugurated in Malta

Foreign Affairs Minister George Vella inaugurated the new premises of the Embassy of the State of Kuwait in Malta. Both countries enjoy excellent relations, Minister Vella said “the intensification of bilateral contacts between our two countries has been greatly enhanced, notably in recent years, with twelve agreements signed since 2010. 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 testify to our growing level of friendly relations and cooperation. Minister Vella said that despite the different realities, Malta and Kuwait are rather distant from a geographical point of view, they have, in different times and circumstances, 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. 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.  Minister Vella reiterated “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”. Ambassador Faisal Sulaiman Ali Al-Musaileen thanked Minister Vella and expressed his wish that the relations between both countries continue to develope.
