Malta
Intro
Despite its small size, Malta exerts influence through its maritime location and EU membership. It is a gateway between Europe and North Africa, a hub for shipping, finance, and tourism, and a key node in Mediterranean policy.
Background
Malta gained independence from the UK in 1964 and became a republic in 1974. Its neutrality, enshrined in the constitution, coexists with close cooperation with EU and NATO frameworks. Economic growth relies on tourism, digital services, and offshore finance.
