The University of Malta is to confer the Degree of Doctor of Science (Honoris Causa) on French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, who will visit Malta on Friday

Mr Kouchner will be in Malta for a few hours, during which he will have talks with Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi and Foreign Minister Tonio Borg.

He is the most senior French minister to visit Malta since Prime Minister François Fillon last May and European Affairs Secretary Jean-Pierre Jouyet in January last year.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy came to Malta on a private holiday after his election victory in May 2007.
