After
a meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia, Prince Faisal bin
Farhan Al Saud, in Malta last August, Minister Ian Borg welcomed the official
invitation of the minister of foreign affairs to make an official visit to the
country.
Minister
Borg had a number of official meetings, including with Minister of Foreign
Affairs of Saudi Arabia, Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud. Regarding the
meeting he had with Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Minister Ian Borg said
that this was a follow-up on the points of collaboration that had been agreed
upon in Malta a few months ago.
The
strengthening of commercial collaboration between the two countries was at the
top of the agenda. The Minister for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade, Ian
Borg, was also accompanied by a Maltese trade delegation led by Trade Malta.
The
trade delegation met with the Chamber of Commerce of Saudi Arabia, and a number
of meetings were held between several Maltese businesses and those of Saudi
Arabia to establish a relationship that could possibly open more avenues for
commercial opportunities.
On
the work of this commercial delegation, Minister Borg asserted, “I look forward
that in the near future we will be able to listen and announce plans to
strengthen collaboration with this country”. He also reiterated the Maltese
Government’s commitment to continue assisting Maltese businesses to open more
opportunities.
During this visit,
Minister Borg also had a meeting with Adel Al-Jubeir, the Minister of State for
Foreign Affairs, and was also shown around the sites known as Al-Ula and
Diriyah.
