A Maltese Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel was inaugurated today in a building shared with Cyrpus.

The embassy was inaugurated by Foreign Minister Tonio Borg, a day after he opened a representative office in Ramallah on the West Bank.

The embassy in Tel Aviv is headed by Ambassador Abraham Borg.

In a speech Dr Borg emphasised the need for progress in Maltese-Israeli relations and that this embassy will serve as tool for this goal.

"Israel has a lot to contribute especially on economic issues; there is a lot of potential in terms of business opportunities, especially as a result of Malta's EU membership," Dr Borg said. He highlighted tourism, IT, and renewable energy as areas of cooperation.

Dr Borg earlier today had meetings with President Shimon Peres and Deputy Prime Minister Danny Meridor.
