The Ministry for Foreign Affairs & Trade Promotion, in conjunction with the University of Malta, will be extending its post-graduate scholarship support next academic year (worth €118,000) to students from Palestine, Tunisia, Ghana, and Nigeria, Minister Carmelo Abela announced at a press conference today.
This, he said, is in-line with Malta’s foreign policy goals to promote peace and stability in the Mediterranean region and beyond: 'Malta is a bridge-builder to peace. This is our foreign policy vocation, which we remain committed to continue.' [Read Minister's speech]
