Bilateral relations

Canada enjoys excellent relations with Malta based on a shared commitment to democratic values. Our countries share similar views and positions in the UN, and the Commonwealth. Canada’s relations with Malta are managed by the Embassy of Canada to Italy, in Rome, supported by an Honorary Consul in Valletta. Malta’s High Commission to Canada is in Washington. Malta has a Consulate General in Toronto and Honorary Consuls in Montreal, Ottawa, St. John’s, and Vancouver.

Trade relations

Trade links between Canada and Malta are still relatively modest with two-way trade of almost $413.7 million. Malta has expressed clear support for enhanced trade relations between Canada and the EU and CETA ratification and implementation.
