Maltese Prime Minister Abela said on Friday evening that the partnership between Malta and China has grown stronger over the years and more cooperation is expected.
Abela made the remarks during a ceremony for the inauguration of the first bluefin tuna joint venture platform between China and Malta held in Marsa, eastern Malta. Highlighting the solid economic ties between Malta and China, he said, “Over the past five decades, our partnership has grown stronger through mutual benefit and win-win cooperation.”
The joint venture was established in southern China’s Hainan Province in June this year by Malta Fish Farming (MFF) Ltd. and Shandong Far-sea Development Ltd., a subsidiary of Shandong Marine Group. This cooperation covers the whole industrial chain such as bluefin tuna trade, processing, and transportation.
