President Marie-Louise Coleiro Preca today joined US President Barack Obama, Poland's President Bronislaw Komorowski and leaders from Central and Eastern Europe for a ceremony marking the "Freedom Day" - the 25th anniversary of Poland's first partially-free elections.

Those elections led to the victory of the Solidarity trade union and the end of communist rule.

TVM reported that Ms Coleiro-Preca invited President Obama to visit Malta.

The ceremony was also attended by Speaker Anglu Farrugia.
