Prime Minister Joseph Muscat has had talks in Hong Kong with the China Aircraft Leasing Group (CALC).
The two sides discussed possible collaboration and investment opportunities, the government said, without elaboration.
China Aircraft Leasing Group is the biggest aircraft lessor in China and is also involved in aircraft disassembling and recycling.
Earlier, Dr Muscat visited a roadshow by Malta-based luxury packaging company Toly, also in Hong Kong.
Dr Muscat is in Asia for a conference hosted by Henley and Partners to promote passport sales.
