The Republic of Malta is located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, about 100 kilometers from the Italian island of Sicily. It was occupied and ruled by the British for 164 years since 1800. It declared independence in 1964 and is now a member of the Commonwealth. Tourism is one of Malta's main economic pillars, attracting millions of overseas tourists every year. Another pillar of Malta's economy is the ship repair and shipbuilding industry. Its seaport is the best port in the Mediterranean and an important shipping transit station in the Mediterranean. Joining the EU in 2004 has positive significance for further expanding its influence in Eurasia. This book provides a relatively detailed introduction to Malta's territory, economy, politics, history, culture, society, diplomacy, etc.
