Abstract: | I commence my address by saying that last time I was in Malta was for the Summit on Migration we had with the African countries one year ago. Today I come here straight from Tunis, actually closer to Malta than Brussels. This is of particular interest as sometimes people tend to think of Malta as the edge of Europe; sometimes the periphery of Europe. Actually in the world of today Malta is rather the gate of Europe, which means also the heart of Europe because in the world we live in, gates and doors are the centre of our systems. It is more about connections than about separate systems. It’s a world with multiple centres: centres for growth, centres for progress, for exchanges among cultures; and there is no doubt that the Mediterranean is one of the key centres of our World. |
