maximisation of multisectoral benefits from Malta's international network of
embassies and consulates. The
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in coordination with its international network of
embassies and consulates, will continue to contribute to the wider effort to
bring overseas investment into Malta, increase the export of Maltese goods and
services, promote tourism, financial and maritime services, and commerce in
general, coordinating closely with the relevant government agencies to ensure a
common focus on the immediate and long-term goals of Malta's economic
development in view of developing trends and business
opportunities.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will also utilise more
effectively its consulates spread around the world for the promotion of trade
and investment putting them to the service of Maltese entrepreneurs in the
process of seeking new markets for Maltese products and services abroad. In the
multilateral and European Union context, the Ministry will seek to tap
opportunities for international service and assignments for Maltese nationals,
consultancies and businesses.
Expand and improve Malta's consular network
The
Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue to invest in the provision of consular
services internationally, expanding the consular network to provide Maltese
citizens with a network of assistance in case of difficulty or distress. In this
regard, Malta continues to support efforts within the EU for the coordination of
the consular networks of member states to enhance the services and coverage for
EU citizens.
