Opposition leader Simon Busuttil will be leading a Nationalist Party delegation in China next week at the invitation of the Chinese government.

The delegation will have strategic meetings with representatives of the Chinese government in Beijing and Shanghai. It would also be meeting a number of enterprises and representatives of industry with commercial interests in Malta.

In the last five years of Nationalist administration 13 cooperation agreements were signed between Malta and China in several sectors.

Dr Busuttil said the PN still believed that relations with China should continue to be strengthened and insisted that relations between the two countries should be built on honesty, transparency and reciprocal respect.

Dr Busuttil will be accompanied by deputy leader Beppe Fenech Adami, Foreign Affairs spokesman Tonio Fenech, international secretary Trevor Degiorgio and Dr Busuttil’s head of office Matthew Gatt.
