Today, Malta commemorates Sette Giugno, a pivotal moment in the nation’s history.

On 7 June 1919, public unrest driven by social and economic hardship culminated in events that claimed the lives of four Maltese citizens. The tragedy marked a turning point in Malta’s constitutional development and contributed to the country’s path towards self-government and parliamentary representation.

As we remember those who lost their lives, we reflect on the enduring values of democracy, representation, and civic participation, and on the importance of safeguarding these principles for future generations.

Illum, Malta tfakkar is-Sette Giugno, mument kruċjali fl-istorja tal-pajjiż.

Fis-7 ta’ Ġunju 1919, protesti marbuta ma’ diffikultajiet soċjali u ekonomiċi wasslu għal ġrajjiet traġiċi li fihom tilfu ħajjithom erba’ ċittadini Maltin. Dawn l-avvenimenti mmarkaw punt ta’ bidla importanti fl-iżvilupp kostituzzjonali ta’ Malta u kkontribwew għall-mixja tal-pajjiż lejn l-awtogvern u r-rappreżentanza parlamentari.

Filwaqt li niftakru f’dawk li tilfu ħajjithom, nirriflettu fuq il-valuri tad-demokrazija, ir-rappreżentanza u l-parteċipazzjoni ċivika, kif ukoll fuq l-importanza li dawn il-prinċipji jibqgħu mħarsa għall-ġenerazzjonijiet futuri.

The High Commission extends its congratulations to Hon. Dr Chris Fearne on his appointment as Malta’s Minister for Foreign and European Affairs following the formation of the new Government after the 2026 General Election.

The High Commission looks forward to working closely with Hon. Dr Fearne in further strengthening the longstanding and excellent relations between Malta and Australia, while advancing cooperation in areas of mutual interest.

The High Commission also expresses its sincere appreciation to Hon. Dr Ian Borg for his support and leadership during his tenure as Minister for Foreign and European Affairs and looks forward to continuing its engagement with him in his new ministerial role.
