Arnold Cassola, new leader of Alternattiva Demokratika, called on Joseph Muscat at MLP headquarters in Hamrun this morning.
Both leaders congratulated each other on their recent appointment.
Dr Muscat said the MLP and AD could work together within a movement for the progressives and the moderates. There were a number of areas, primarily in the social sector, which provided a basis for common action by the two parties.
He also observed that the MLP and AD together enjoyed the support of the majority of the people.
Dr Cassola said the experience of the two parties in EU institutions should enable them to work in a collaborative spirit. He said his aim was to work for the benefit of the country and he augured that the political parties could agree on the nomination of the next President of Malta.
Dr Cassola said Malta also needed to address the problems caused by rising food and oil prices.
Present for the meeting were MLP deputy leaders Anglu Farrugia and Toni Abela and AD deputy chairmen Stephen Cachia and Mario Mallia.
