The exhibition will be launched on 21 September through a reception at the Royal Gardens marking Malta Independence Day. On top of the exhibition, the Embassy will be donating 3 endemic Maltese plants which will be planted in the Royal Garden, as a gesture of friendship and for visitors to enjoy. This was made possible thanks to support from ERA and the Argotti Botanic Centre – University of Malta. 

“With the Royal Garden’s prestigious location, receiving approximately 1000 visitors per day, the Embassy of Malta in Spain hopes that through the exhibition and the national day reception it will complement efforts in providing exposure to Malta in Spain on different levels.  This includes promoting Malta as a destination not only for investment but also for tourism purposes. The latter being a key component of our economy but also an excellent vehicle in bringing the two countries closer with visitors obtaining first-hand information about Malta,” Ambassador Daniel Azzopardi stated.

“Ever since Malta has started welcoming tourists again, whilst ensuring everyone’s safety, we couldn’t help but notice how Spain is, once again, one of our most important markets, therefore, as VisitMalta we find this exhibition, and its theme come at the right time, and they present us with an excellent opportunity to remind everyone of the excellent relations which both countries enjoy on various level, including diplomatic and on a people-to-people level. We hope these works of art will be enjoyed by all those who visit the iconic gardens and we look forward to continue welcoming Spanish visitors to Malta,” Dr Gavin Gulia, Chairman of the MTA added.
