“Malta is a long-standing partner of the UAE, and we were pleased to hold constructive political consultations with our colleagues in Malta’s foreign ministry,” said Her Excellency Ambassador Lana Zaki Nusseibeh. “As a member of the European Union, Malta plays a key role in our shared neighborhood. We look forward to fostering continued close cooperation with Malta, to seizing the unique opportunities that the relationship offers, and to delivering tangible benefits to citizens and businesses in our two countries.”
The two sides explored opportunities to strengthen their well-established bilateral ties through joint collaboration on shared interests in areas such as trade, investment, and energy.
The consultations also covered regional developments and mutual United Nations Security Council priorities on a number of key issues, including the Middle East, the impact of armed conflict on children, combating extremism, and the Women, Peace and Security agenda.
Both countries renewed their shared commitment to addressing climate-related challenges, particularly those affecting the most vulnerable, through innovative solutions with a focus on the nexus of climate, peace, and security. They also discussed priorities in the lead-up to COP28 in the UAE, from prioritizing inclusivity and adaptation to scaling up climate financing.
