German Embassy Valletta

🇩🇪🤝🇫🇷 In France, people speak of the “couple franco-allemand”, while in Germany the term “deutsch-französische Freundschaft” is used. This close partnership is also reflected in the cooperation between our Embassies abroad.

Here in Malta 🇲🇹, the German and French Embassies are in constant exchange and regularly work on joint projects together.

That is why the intern from the French Embassy and the legal trainee from the German Embassy had the opportunity to visit each other’s Embassies and meet the Ambassadors in order to gain an insight into the diplomatic work of our partner countries ✨

Most of their life happens underground: for around 3–4 years, the larvae remain hidden in the soil before emerging in larger numbers every few seasons. ⌛

They’re big, a little clumsy in flight, and sound almost like tiny drones zooming through the evening air. Not always everyone’s favourite encounter — but definitely a fascinating reminder of how much biodiversity exists quietly around us, often unnoticed, until nature suddenly makes itself heard. 🌱✨
