Malta's honorary consul for Saxony-Anhalt, Detlef Bischoff, has presented a cheque for Lm1,000 to Mro Dion Buhagiar and Mrs Yvonne Younge of the Choir Collegium Musicum.

The money was raised by the Lions Club of Halle an der Saale, during a Maltese evening last January.

Mro Buhagiar said the funds would go towards further development of the choir. The possibility of exploring future exchanges of choirs from Halle and Malta was discussed during the meeting.

Mr Bischoff also presented, on behalf of his colleagues, the honorary consuls in Germany, a cheque for Lm700 representing this year's honorary consuls' award, to the minister of foreign affairs.

The money will be passed on to Dar il-Kaptan for the installation of a closed circuit TV and security system in the home, in accordance with a decision taken by the honorary consuls of Germany during their last meeting in Halle.

While on his recent visit to Malta, Mr Bischoff also paid a courtesy call on Foreign Minister Joe Borg.
