Malta, India to strengthen trade relations

Foreign Minister Tonio Borg will this week inaugurate the Maltese High Commission offices in New Delhi, and a Consulate in Chennai, being the “maritime city” of India. The official visit follows a tour made by a trade delegation headed by Malta Enterprise officials last month. Further meetings by some of the members of that trade mission are planned.
The Foreign Ministry said that while the potential for growth in trade and investment relations was strong, the two countries could also collaborate in several other areas such as the film industry - with three Indian films having been shot in Malta last year, including one with the participation of AR Rahman, the Oscar winning soundtrack composer for ‘Slumdog Millionaire’.
In the education sector, the University of Malta employs an official at the Maltese High Commission to promote studies in Malta.
