On 27th January 2021, H.E. Ambassador Yu Dunhai met with Hon. Evarist Bartolo, Minister for Foreign and European Affairs and presented the Copie d'Usage of Letters of Credence. They exchanged views on bilateral relations and issues of mutual interest.

The two sides spoke highly of the traditional friendship between the two countries and the development of China-Malta relations. They acknowledged that since the establishment of diplomatic ties, with mutual respect and support, China and Malta have always treated each other as equals. The two countries have enjoyed deepening political mutual trust, practical cooperation and people-to-people exchanges over the years and have supported and cooperated closely with each other in international affairs. China-Malta relationship sets a model of peaceful coexistence between countries of different size, population, cultural traditions and political systems.

China and Malta are going to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their bilateral ties next year. The two sides stand ready to take this opportunity and work together to push bilateral relations to a new high.
