🇲🇹 #Malta Foreign and European Affairs Minister Chris Fearne raised warnings of the impact of the escalation of the conflict in the #MiddleEast on #Mediterranean #shipping and #trade 🛳️
📍Minister Fearne was speaking on Monday (12 Oct) in Luxembroug, where he represented Malta during the Foreign Affairs Council #FAC 🇪🇺
📝 During the Council, Ministers discussed the situation in the Middle East, #enlargement, and #Russia’s war of aggression against #Ukraine.
🚢 Speaking to EU counterparts, Minister stressed that disruptions to shipping in the Strait of #Hormuz, together with threats to commercial shipping routes through the #RedSea and the #SuezCanal, are a serious concern for southern European countries.
⚠️ “Any disruption to these #shipping routes could have a direct impact on trade and our economy. It is therefore in Malta’s interest to ensure that these routes remain open and secure.”- Minister Fearne.
⚓ Malta also supported calls to strengthen naval protection for commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
🛡️ The Minister stressed that Malta’s neutrality does not prevent it from safeguarding its maritime and economic interests, while continuing to support diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions in the region.
🇵🇸 On Palestine, Minister Fearne reiterated support for a Two-State solution, and expressed concern over settler violence, the expansion of West Bank settlements, and the lack of progress on the Gaza Peace Plan.
🗳️ The Minister also urged Palestinian Authority to bring forward elections, and avoid delays that would affect democratic renewal and the representation of the Palestinian people.
🇺🇦 During an exchange of views on Ukraine, Minister Fearne also welcomed discussions on a possible ceasefire, particularly as winter approaches 🕊️
