"Malta's perspective in foreign policy stems from our own realities. We are a country which wholly forms part of Europe and wholly forms part of the Mediterranean. We are an island state. We attained sovereign statehood within living memory, after centuries of colonial rule. We are on a cultural frontier between Europe and North Africa, speaking a language which fuses Semitic and Romance. We are necessarily foreign trade oriented. Our foreign policy must reflect our realities and our Maltese and European values. These values fashion our positions in the world today: solidarity; respect for democracy, the rule of law and human rights; a humanitarian approach; a propensity to giving. These are values which characterise our society and are historically firmly rooted in a millennial formation that has fashioned our value set and our way of life. They remain necessarily dynamic."
