VALLETTA (MALTA) (ITALPRESS/MNA) – Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has congratulated Malta’s Prime Minister Robert Abela on the sixth anniversary of his leadership of the Labour Party and the Maltese government.
Sánchez wrote in his capacity as president of Socialist International, the global alliance of social democratic and labour parties founded in 1951.
In his letter, Sánchez praised Abela’s leadership as being marked by a strong commitment to social justice, democratic values and inclusive economic progress, adding that Malta continues to play an active role in Europe and the wider international community.
The Maltese Labour Party joined the organisation in 1955. Labour’s engagement with Socialist International later waned, leading to its demotion to observer status in 2012 over unpaid membership fees and its removal from the organisation in 2014.
The party rejoined Socialist International last year, paving the way for Sánchez’s message -to Abela, which Labour shared publicly.
