The two distant countries, China and Malta, with quite different culture, have set a good example for the whole world in showing mutual respect and mutual beneficial cooperation.

Cultural communication has played a great role in strengthening partner relationship between these two countries during the over 40-year development. This 10th session represents only one of the worldwide celebrations of Chinese New Year. The Chinese also congratulated the 450th anniversary of the foundation of Valletta.
