Ambasciata del Giappone in Italia

Greetings from Ambassador Masaharu Kohno

Welcome to the webpage of the Embassy of Japan to the Republic of Malta. I presented a letter of credence to President George Abela on 14 July 2011.

Japan and Malta have solidly built good bilateral relations. Particularly, in the economic dimension, Malta is a significant country that provides Japan with fishery products such as tuna. For Malta, Japan is one of the major exporters of automobiles. Besides the strong economic ties, we have seen a considerable increase in the number of Japanese people travelling to Malta. They are mainly attracted to tourism and English-learning opportunities Malta offers. Malta has also potentials as a gateway to Europe in terms of her relations with Japan.

Since the Great East Japan Earth Quake and the subsequent disasters, the people of Malta have kindly given us support and shown solidarity with us. On 13 July I attended a concert organised by the Maltese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The concert was meant to support those victims of the disaster. I am very certain that such emotional ties will bring the two nations even closer in the future.

Since Japan has no diplomatic representation located in Malta, the Embassy of Japan in Rome covers issues related to Malta. As Ambassador I claw my way to further development of the bilateral relations through economic interactions, exchange between the two nations, and diplomatic cooperation.

Thank you.
