The Ministry for Foreign and European Affairs confirms the resignation of Mr Michael Zammit Tabona, who served as Malta's Ambassador (non-resident) to Finland over the past six years.
While accepting his resignation with immediate effect, Minister Evarist Bartolo stressed that Mr Zammit Tabona's comments on German Chancellor Angela Merkel was not representative of the friendship and mutual respect between Malta and Germany.
In this regard, Minister Bartolo reiterates the Maltese Government's commitment to deepen the strong and longstanding bilateral relations between the two countries.
