The Maltese National Anthem still unites us and promotes unity. It still serves as a compass pointing us towards cherishing our values. Yesterday we commemorated one hundred years of the Maltese National Anthem during an event in honour of the National Poet Dun Karm Psaila.

This evening, we celebrated the national day of #Spain together with the Spanish community in Malta. Occasions such as this one provide us with the best possible scenario to reflect together on the excellent nature of relations that have for centuries linked our two countries.

Together we must spur society to love and empathise. We must be more aware of the difficulties that some people face due to mental health problems.

100 years since the first 'Poppy Appeal' was held by the Malta Branch of the Royal British Legion, I urged everyone to reflect on what we're going through now and hope that what has happened in the past will not repeat itself in the future.

Let us make this year’s ‘Poppy Day’ event something which can be translated by young people into what we are currently living through and also a warning that what has happened in the past, hopefully, will not repeat itself in the future.

The centenary of the Royal British Legion ‘Poppy Appeal’ is an opportunity to reflect and raise more awareness on the significance of the poppy. When everyone thought that war was something of the past, we are right in the middle of another war in Europe. (cont.)

On the UN #WMHD2022, I join the international community’s call to make mental health a global priority. A strong commitment to protect & promote everyone’s mental health should be at the helm of our collective efforts in progressing humanity towards stability, prosperity & peace.
