| Ambassador Mark Micallef, on Wednesday 14th May 1997, presented his | credentials to the President of the United States of America, Bill Clinton. |
| President Clinton congratulated Ambassador Micallef on his | appointment who replied that during his tenure he would do is best to have a meaningful relationship and that this should not be too difficult a task in view of the strong bonds that exist between the Maltese and American people. He brought with him the sincere wish of the Prime Minister and the Maltese Government to strengthen bilateral relations. President Clinton said relations are very good and that he would be working closely with Ambassador Micallef, as "Malta and the United States share a long history of collaborative relations" and he was very pleased with the Drug Enforcement programme between the US and Malta. |
| Ambassador Micallef thanked President Clinton and referred to the | thousands of Maltese migrants whose "honest toil and success makes them more than myself, the more eminent Ambassadors of Malta. They found within the American dream the same belief in Christian values and the family as central units of Society which they brought with them as their only possession from their land of origin". |
| During the very cordial meeting with Mr. Clinton, Ambassador | Micallef discussed the latest developments in bilateral relations and also invited the President and Mrs. Clinton to visit Malta. Showing obvious pleasure, the President said he had always wanted to see Malta and Ambassador Micallef promised the President a warm welcome in Malta and Gozo, where he would be able to see the oldest free-standing monuments in the world. A successful visit would also require the help of a new US Ambassador to Malta. President Clinton promised Ambassador Micallef a new U.S. Ambassador would be appointed soon. |
| Mr. Clinton replied that "working together, inspired by our | shared values of democracy and human rights, we can work to make the world a safer and more human place". |
