The President of Malta Prof. Guido de Marco paid a visit to the locality of Xaghra after an invitation by the Mayor of the locality. Throughout his term of office, the President has already visited various organisations mainly parastatal bodies, cultural venues and philanthropic associations. In this context he is now planning, through the local councils, to visit their respective localities.

On arriving in Xaghra, President de Marco was greeted by Mayor Anthony Attard and his fellow councillors, together with the administration of the local council. In his welcome address, the Mayor explained that Xaghra is one of the largest localities in Gozo with over 5000 citizens. This locality, said Mayor Attard, is enriched by the presence of Ggantija Temples, a living proof of the long period during which people have settled in the area.

The President was then taken to Patri Mattew Sultana Primary School where he met all the pupils and teachers in the school hall. He visited also the kindergarten school run by the Franciscan Sisters and, later, the day centre for senior citizens. At the day centre, the President thanked those present on behalf of the nation for the contribution they have given to the country and to society. He stressed the importance of the role of senior citizens and their relevance in society.

At Ggantija Temples, the primary school students presented the President with a mime. Here he emphasised the importance of maintaining such an archaeological site, not only because of its national importance but also because they are part of the world heritage. Teachers, said the President, have the role and duty of conveying this sense of culture to the next generation.

The President then visited the Basilica and was greeted by the Parish Priest Mgr. S. Sultana. President de Marco ended his visit to Xaghra at the church dedicated to Sant' Antnin Abbati, a church which dates back to 1688.
