Foreign Policy
Malta's foreign policy emphasizes Mediterranean security, migration management (as a major landing point for African migrants), and EU engagement. It maintains a constitutionally enshrined neutrality clause and is not a NATO member, though it participates in Partnership for Peace.
Malta leverages its shipping registry (one of the world's largest) and its EU Council presidency experience to influence maritime and migration policy.
MUN Delegate Guide
As Malta, invoke Arvid Pardo's 'Common Heritage of Mankind' legacy to lead on ocean governance and the Law of the Sea. Your central Mediterranean position makes you a natural voice on migration and maritime issues.
Coordinate with EU partners and Mediterranean states. Push for equitable migration burden-sharing within the EU. Leverage your ship registry in maritime governance discussions. Your small size and neutrality make you a credible mediator and honest broker.
