Business relations between Malta and the English county of East Sussex were on the increase, thanks to the Malta International Trade Fair, British High Commissioner Vincent Fean said in a statement.
"East Sussex is comparable in population with Malta, and the county council is taking steps to introduce Sussex companies to potential Maltese partners," Mr Fean said.
This cooperation was very much a two-way street, he said as he hoped that Maltese companies would take a close look at what East Sussex business had to offer.
Four East Sussex based manufacturing companies are exhibiting a sample range of their products at the United Kingdom Pavilion of the International Fair of Malta in Naxxar.
Their products include ropes and cordage, cash tills and boxes, electrical accessories and precision engineering.
The firms are seeking representation in Malta. East Sussex County Council has sponsored the British Pavilion this year to support its companies exhibiting there and the recent twinning agreed between the towns of Naxxar and Hailsham in East Sussex.
