Congratulations to @RobertAbela_MT on your electoral victory.

Malta plays a central role in the Mediterranean.

A region ever more strategic for Europe’s future.

So let’s continue our cooperation.

[Robert Abela @RobertAbela_MT]

Malta led overall growth.

Growth expectations remain positive despite rising uncertainty. Strong momentum, rising wages, measures cushioning price increases, and a falling deficit.

The European Commission’s opinion speaks for itself. - RA

Honoured to welcome @EU_Commission Executive VP @RaffaeleFitto.

During our meeting, I reaffirmed that #EU #CohesionPolicy is crucial for #Malta & stressed the need for a flexible post-2027 MFF that reflects the realities of small island states. - RA

[Robert Abela @RobertAbela_MT]

Met with Executive Vice-President @EU_Commission @HennaVirkkunen.

We discussed Malta’s priorities, including strengthening a digital single market that works for all. - RA

[Ian Borg @DeputyPMIanBorg]

Welcomed Executive Vice-President of the European Commission, @HennaVirkkunen, alongside Prime Minister @RobertAbela_MT and Ministers @SilvioSchembri and @byroncamilleri.

Our discussion focused on strengthening Europe’s digital competitiveness, safeguarding critical infrastructure, and ensuring resilient connectivity—priorities of particular importance for Malta as an island Member State.

[Robert Abela @RobertAbela_MT]

Honoured Malta is first in the EU to have IMF Article IV surveillance moved to a 24-month cycle from a 12-month one.

This testifies our economic success and IMF's trust in our policy direction.

I also welcome IMF's conclusion that we can deliver on Malta Vision 2050. - RA

[Robert Abela @RobertAbela_MT]

Had a truly inspiring exchange with Mr Koen Lenaerts, the President of the Court of Justice of the @europeanunion.

In the face of legal and institutional challenges, the Court's contribution to safeguarding the legal order has never been more indispensable. - RA

[Ian Borg @DeputyPMIanBorg]

Had a good call with Ukraine’s DPM @TarasKachka on Ukraine’s EU accession path. Commended progress on key reforms, reaffirmed Malta’s strong support for Ukraine’s membership, and underlined the importance of a merit-based process and EU unity moving forward.

[Robert Abela @RobertAbela_MT]

While global uncertainty is on the rise, Fitch Ratings confirm our country as an A+ economy and state “Malta has one of the strongest growth performances among Fitch rated sovereigns”. Prosperity and stability remain our focus. - RA

[Robert Abela @RobertAbela_MT]

Safeguarding Malta's neutrality, promoting peace & ensuring that our people's hard-earned money - go towards bettering lives.

Our priorities at #EUCO in Brussels. - RA

[IRU @the_IRU]

In a meeting with Malta’s @DeputyPMIanBorg, we discussed EU #SingleMarket connectivity, #trade efficiency and the #greening of #roadtransport.

Thank you to our member ATTO for hosting this important meeting.

[Robert Abela @RobertAbela_MT]

Productive meeting with @alain_berset ahead of 🇲🇹’s @coe Presidency in May. We discussed key priorities to strengthen the Council’s core values, with a strong focus on empowering and engaging young people in democratic life. - RA

[Robert Abela @RobertAbela_MT]

Proud to announce that an agreement has been reached between @MaltaGov and the Medical Association of Malta (MAM).

Geographical Indications are a celebration of our diverse culinary heritage & traditions

Glad to have registered the 1st Maltese food GI – ġbejna tan-nagħaġ – thereby recognising & protecting 🇲🇹 sheep's cheese quality as an artisanal & regional product

Tasting w/ @AntonRefalo

Kuntent li rreġistrajna l-ewwel ikel Malti – il-ġbejna tan-nagħaġ – bħala IĠ, u b'hekk qed nagħrfu u nipproteġu l-kwalità u l-awtentiċità tal-ġbejna tan-nagħaġ bħala prodott artiġjanali u reġjonali 🇲🇹

Congratulations @r_buttigieg on making #Malta proud with your remarkable achievement!

Your selection for the @FriendsofEurope #EYL40 European Young Leaders Class of 2024 #EYLClassOf2025 is testament to your dedication – an inspiration to Malta’s youth to work harder for equality, justice and prosperity in our communities.

[Robert Abela @RobertAbela_MT]

Today I spoke with @vonderleyen to wish her well on the start of her new @EU_Commission.

I wholeheartedly thank @helenadalli for all her work and wish @GlennMicallef the best of luck in his upcoming tenure. 🇲🇹

#Malta is proud.

Late last night, I welcomed @EUCouncil President-elect @antoniolscosta to #Malta, ahead of important talks with @MaltaGov @RobertAbela_MT in #Valletta today.

We look forward to extend our collaboration in implementing the EU Strategic Agenda in coming years.

[Robert Abela @RobertAbela_MT]

Yet again the @EU_Commission revised upwards its economic forecast for Malta. At 5% this year we will again have the highest growth among all countries, more than five times the EU average. Inflation and unemployment will both continue to decline. - RA

[Ian Borg @DeputyPMIanBorg]

At #CHOGM2024 @commonwealthsec in Samoa, I have just been chosen to Chair the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group #CMAG for the next two years.

Malta accepted an invitation to continue serving as one of CMAG’s nine members for its third consecutive year.
