China seeks deeper maritime ties with Malta in Central Mediterranean

I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.
China is looking to enhance maritime cooperation with Malta, focusing on shipping and port logistics due to Malta's strategic location in the Central Mediterranean. The Chinese Commerce Ministry expressed willingness to strengthen ties during an economic meeting in Beijing. Since establishing bilateral relations in 1972, China and Malta have collaborated closely, with Chinese investments in Maltese infrastructure, including the Malta Freeport Terminals. Malta has also supported China in EU matters, notably voting against tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles in 2024.
