The US government will build an embassy compound at Ta' Qali on a government-owned site it bought for $18.5 million.

A preliminary agreement for the sale of the site was signed yesterday, the government said.

Both parties will now be discussing the terms of the final contract that will be submitted to Parliament for approval, the government added. In an interview with The Times on Tuesday, US Ambassador Molly Bordonaro said the construction of a new American embassy in Malta will pump $50 million into the local economy.

The US embassy is at present located in St Anne Street, Floriana.
