At the invitation of the Rotary Club of Delhi Midtown, Theresa Cutajar, High Commissioner of Malta to India, delivered a speech on ‘Malta – Gateway to the European and North African Markets’ during the Club’s weekly luncheon meeting. The Rotary Club of Delhi Midtown brings together over 140 members, most of whom are industrialists, civil servants and professionals.

The High Commissioner introduced Malta to the Rotarians and explained how it constitutes an ideal base from where to tap the European and North African markets. Ms Cutajar stressed that as a result of Malta’s accession to the European Union goods, services, capital and people can move, travel and work freely in the EU.

She highlighted the friendly business environment, the highly skilled and productive labour force, the incentives package provided by government as well as the efficient tax structure that renders Mata an attractive and competitive manufacturing base.

Information was also provided about the priority economic sectors which have been identified by the Maltese government, namely education, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, ICT, finance, aeronautics, the film industry, creative arts and gaming.

Ms Cutajar highlighted the fact that as a competitive cost base Malta ensures a healthy return on direct investment.

She extended an invitation to the members of the Rotary Club of Delhi Midtown to visit Malta and experience the opportunities and potential that Malta can provide for Indian business companies wishing to tap the European and North African markets.
