Maltese business delegation in talks at Chinese Embassy

The Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry for Economic Services, Edwin Vassallo, together with a business delegation visited the Chinese Embassy, following an invitation by the Chinese Ambassador to Malta H.E. Mr Zu Qinshun

Mr Vassallo stated that his task as a Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry for Economic Services was to make sure that Maltese S.M.E’s regain confidence and be in a position to render a good service to customers. This would open the way for growth and expansion, hence the need to develop new relationships and consolidate existing ones, stressed Mr Vassallo.

The visit to the Embassy should be seen in this light. The entrepreneur should be encouraged to seek markets which offer the most advantageous terms. The Chinese Market, Mr Vassallo stated, may offer opportunities of which Maltese businessmen are not fully aware of, due to the distance which separates the two countries.

It is hoped that through this visit this distance can be somewhat reduced and the right business connections with Chinese entrepreneurs can be initiated and consolidated, concluded Mr Vassallo.

The Parliamentary Secretary stated that these meetings would continue to take place on a regular basis. This would lead to an exchange of ideas and commerce between the two countries.
