The Embassy of Malta and the Association of Foreign Diplomats (ADE) organized an event last week that highlighted the cultural, historical, and tourist wealth of this fascinating country bathed by the waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
The Maltese ambassador, Emmanuel Mallia, gave a warm welcome at the diplomatic headquarters, reflecting the spirit of dialogue, friendship, and cooperation that characterizes Malta, at an event sponsored by Malta Tourism Authority, which brought the guests closer to the essence of a unique destination in the Mediterranean.
Liza Medrano, president of ADE, pointed out during her speech that “Malta inspires us as an example of a meeting between civilizations, with a rich and diverse identity that invites not only to discover it but to feel it.”
“Today, she continued, we have the opportunity to deeply know a country that possesses an extraordinarily rich and diverse identity. From the Association of Foreign Diplomats in Spain, we enthusiastically promote this type of meeting that allows us to fulfill one of our main objectives, to showcase our countries, their traditions, their gastronomy, and the multiple opportunities they offer, especially in the field of tourism. We firmly believe that culture is a bridge that unites people and strengthens relationships between our peoples.”
“Malta, in this sense, is an exceptional example, emphasized the Honduran diplomat Liza Medrano, its millenary history, its architectural heritage, its Mediterranean landscapes, and its vibrant culture make this archipelago a unique destination. But beyond its tourist attractions, Malta also represents a crossroads of civilizations, a living testimony of the dialogue between cultures that we value so much in the diplomatic community. I am sure that this presentation will be very beneficial for all of us and we will be able to take a piece of Malta in our memory and, why not?, also in our hearts.”
Next, Maialen Beloki, from the company Newlink, took the floor and described all the tourist, cultural, and gastronomic attractions of this island located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea.
“300 days of sun a year, indicated Maialen, very Mediterranean climate, very warm climate, to be able to visit it in all seasons of the year. Valid ID, because it is part of the European Union. The euro, the official currency, the same time zone as Spain, in that we have no changes. And Catholic religion. There are more than 365 churches, so one to visit every day of the year, or more. More than 8,500 years of history. In Malta, there are temples much older than the citations from Egypt, with a very important historical-cultural heritage.”
