The long-serving Secretary-General of the Arab League, Amre Moussa, is in Malta for the opening, tomorrow, of an EU-Arab League liaison office in Floriana. He will be joined tonight by the European Commissioner for External Relations, Benita Ferrero-Waldner.
The office, adjacent to police headquarters, will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi.
Both Mr Moussa and Ms Ferrero-Waldner will have meetings with the Prime Minister and with Foreign Minister Tonio Borg. They will also meet the foreign affairs committee of the House of Representatives.
The liaison office will group experts from the European Commission and the Arab League, who will coordinate dialogue between the EU and the Arab League.
Dr Borg said that membership of the EU had placed Malta in a stronger position to broker dialogue between north and south.
"We are no longer a tiny nation trying to find our political position in this dialogue, we are indeed part of it."
