Deputy Prime Minister Ian Borg has been presented with a commemorative plaque by the ambassadors of Palestine and the Arab League to Malta, in recognition of his support for Arab causes during his time as Foreign Minister.

Palestine’s Ambassador to Malta, Fadi Hanania, and the Arab League’s Ambassador to Malta, Abdullah Al-Rubaidi, visited Borg at his office for a meeting focused on issues of mutual interest. According to a statement shared by the Palestinian Embassy in Malta, the two ambassadors used the occasion to formally recognize Borg’s efforts during his tenure as Minister for Foreign Affairs.

The ambassadors particularly highlighted his support for Palestine, including Malta’s formal recognition of the State of Palestine while he led the Foreign Affairs Ministry. They also referred to the raising of the Palestinian flag at the Palestinian Embassy in Malta as a significant moment in relations between the two countries.

The commemorative plaque was presented in appreciation of Borg’s engagement with issues affecting the Arab world and his contribution to strengthening Malta’s longstanding ties with the region.

The Palestinian Embassy described the meeting as productive, noting that the discussions covered several matters of shared interest. For his part, Borg expressed his appreciation for the recognition and reaffirmed the importance of the historical relationship between Malta and the Arab world.

He also reiterated Malta’s longstanding position on Palestine, emphasising the country’s support for the Palestinian people’s rights and the pursuit of justice in accordance with international law and relevant international resolutions. Malta’s recognition of Palestinian statehood marked a significant development in the country’s diplomatic relationship with Palestine, against the backdrop of the ongoing conflict in Gaza and international calls for a political solution.

The meeting comes as Malta continues to maintain diplomatic relations with Palestine and the wider Arab world. The Palestinian Embassy’s public recognition of Borg highlights the significance it attaches to Malta’s position on Palestinian statehood and the diplomatic efforts undertaken during his time as Foreign Minister.
