History

edit

Diplomatic relations between Canada and the State of Malta, predecessor to the modern Republic of Malta, commenced on 23 December 1964.[1]

Missions

edit

Canada and Malta are represented in each other's countries by non-resident high commissioners. The Embassy of Canada in Rome is responsible for representing Canadian interests in Malta and the Embassy of Malta in Washington, D.C. coordinates Malta's relations with Canada. The ambassadors heading those missions also serve concurrently as the high commissioners of their respective states. As of 2018 the Canadian government stated that "consideration is being given" to opening a Maltese high commission in Ottawa.[2]

Malta also operates a consulate general in Toronto, and both countries have at least one honorary consul.
