I am honoured to take up this posting leading the British High Commission in Malta. It is a great privilege to represent the United Kingdom in a country with whom our bilateral and multilateral partnerships are historic, strategic and growing.
I look forward to supporting this strong and durable relationship, and to working with the Maltese government on the range of global challenges that we collectively face. We need to look not just to our long shared history but to a long shared future.
On a personal note, I am delighted to be here in Malta and very grateful to all those who have given me such a warm welcome and helped me to settle in. I know I will enjoy working and living in this very special country.
