| Abstract: | Professor Anthony J. Frendo, Head of the Department of Arabic and Near Eastern Studies, and Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Arts, writes: When Malta joins the European Union on May 1, 2004, it becomes its southernmost state. In this sense it will have one very important function, namely to act as a bridge (physically, economically, and culturally) between the EU and the Near East and North Africa. Now to live up to such a vocation, it is clear that our nation will have to try and understand the languages and cultures of our near eastern and southern neighbours. It will be most beneficial to our country to train people in the languages and civilisations of the near east, if we really want to communicate with the millions of people around us who speak a Semitic language and have a Semitic culture. |
