On 19th November
2017, the Embassy of Malta in Tunis participated in the 2017 edition of the
Diplomatic Bazaar, held at the exhibition centre in Le Kram, which is the main
exhibition centre in Tunis Tunis. This year’s event was dedicated to raise
funds for charities assisting persons in need. This year’s event gathered
together over 30 diplomatic Missions in Tunis from all over the world, with
proceeds going to the selected charities. The event attracted strong participation from
the public and it is estimated that up to 4000 visited the Bazaar.
The Embassy of Malta made
available a number of Maltese products for sale, including a limited selection
of Maltese wines. We are pleased to note that these products garnered
significant interest, including from the host of the event, Mrs. Jhinaoui,
spouse of the Tunisian Foreign Minister, who also purchased an item from
Malta’s stand. In total, Malta’s stand collected 600 Dinars.
We would also like to thank
Air Malta for their assistance in preparing for this event, including providing
a free air ticket made available to the event’s raffle.
Ambassador Mark Pace,
Counsellor Bernard Mifsud and other Embassy staff coordinated participation in
this event.
