Malta and Cyprus have agreed to collaborate within the EU on the implementation of the recently signed Immigration and Asylum Pact.

The pact was discussed during talks which Justice and Minister Affairs Minister Carm Mifsud Bonnici held in Nicosia with Cypriot Interior Minister Neoclis Syliciotis (picture).
