| Abstract: | The Malta Postal Administration is marking the historic event of the End of the Military Facilities Agreement with Britain by the issue of this set. The year 1979 heralds the beginning of a new ear for the Republic of Malta with the Island's change from a military base to a centre of peace in the Mediterranean. After continuous domination by various peoples and countries since the first settlers crossed over from nearby Sicily about 6,ooo years ago, in 1964 Malta attained its Independence within the British Commomwealth. In 1974 Malta became a Democratic Republic, founded on work and on respect for the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual. [excerpt] |
