Abstract: It is a great pleasure for me to visit the Mediterranean Academy
of Diplomatic Studies and be with you here today.
MEDAC was co-founded by Malta and Switzerland more than 25
years ago. It is not only the most important bilateral cooperation
project between our two countries but also a beacon of Malta’s
university education infrastructure. It provides us with an
excellent channel for conducting a continuous exchange on
bilateral and international affairs.
We live in an era marked by growing uncertainty and insecurity.
We are confronted with a multitude of crises and violent
conflicts. Geopolitics and regional rivalries are on the rise again.
Terrorism and fragile states figure high on the security agenda
too. Humanitarian needs have reached new heights.
