Our Embassy had the pleasure of visiting MICAS last week, which is currently hosting 'A New Life Force', a remarkable exhibition showcasing the work of three emerging female artists.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Chairperson, Ms Phyllis Muscat, for her kind invitation to visit the museum. A warm thank you also goes to Claudia, our dedicated tour guide, whose knowledge, enthusiasm and passion brought the exhibition to life and made our visit all the more memorable.

We highly encourage everyone to visit MICAS and experience the exhibition!

Journalists should never be a target. Yet around the world, journalists and media workers continue to face threats, intimidation, arbitrary detention, violence and even murder simply for doing their job.

According to UNESCO, more than 1,700 journalists were killed between 2006 and 2024, and approximately 85% of these cases did not make it to court. Impunity for crimes against journalists remains widespread, both online and offline.

Free, independent and pluralistic media are essential to freedom of expression, an informed public debate and our democratic societies. Journalists must be able to report freely and safely, including in conflict areas.

The Netherlands remains committed to protecting journalists and promoting media freedom. Through support for organisations such as Free Press Unlimited and Reporters Without Borders, UNESCO programmes, and our diplomatic efforts, we work with international partners to strengthen journalists’ safety and combat impunity.

We must stand together to defend press freedom, protect those who bring us the truth and ensure that crimes against journalists do not go unpunished.

Impunity must end.

The threats journalists face are changing. But one reality persists: those responsible for their killings too often go unpunished.

According to UNESCO's latest report, 86% of journalist killings worldwide remain unresolved.

Every journalist silenced is a loss for us all.

On the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, we call for action to end impunity, protect journalists and defend .

Thank you to Fondation de Malte for facilitating this insightful exchange with the Honourable Speaker of Parliament, H.E. Carmelo Abela.

We discussed the role of parliaments in a world in turmoil and how Malta, as a neutral country, can contribute to dialogue, foster understanding, and serve as a bridge-builder in an increasingly complex international landscape.

In solidarity with the Caruana Galizia family, the Ambassador of the Netherlands attended the silent commemoration in Bidnija, alongside members of the diplomatic and local community.

Our thoughts remain with Daphne’s family, friends, and colleagues, and with all those whose lives continue to be affected by her killing.
