Hundreds of visitors were
welcomed at the Embassy of Malta in Washington DC during the Europe Union Open
House day on Saturday 11 May. The European Union delegation and all the
28 Member States opened their Embassy doors to the American public to promote cross-cultural exchanges
and good tidings.
A photograph exhibition about
World War II and US President Roosevelt’s visit to Malta was on display at the
Embassy among other promotional material about Malta and Gozo. Ambassador Keith
Azzopardi and all the staff at the Embassy, together with some members of the
Maltese diaspora in Washington DC toured the visitors around the premises and
made presentations about the exhibition on display as well as on the cultural
and historical heritage of Malta.
The Malta Tourism Authority and
