Tenor Joseph Calleja was described as a 'symbol of national unity' by the prime minister this morning.

The tenor called on the Prime Minister at the Auberge de Castille.

Dr Muscat thanked Mr Calleja for all the good work he is doing for Malta. He said the tenor missed no occasion to promote Malta in the best way possible.

Dr Muscat also said he would be attending a concert by Calleja in France, where he will be meeting French President Francois Hollande.

The two also joked that they would not forget each other's birthday - they share the same date.
