"Press has an important role to play in promoting China-Malta friendship and mutual understanding", said Ambassador Cai Jinbiao while visiting the Malta Independent on 12th April.

Stressing that China's peaceful development brings more opportunities than challenges, Ambassador Cai looked forward to further cooperation with the media so as to bring China closer to the Maltese people in a comprehensive and balanced way.

Malta Independent is one of the two national English newspapers published daily in Malta.
