Malta’s Minister for the Interior, Security and Work, Byron Camilleri, held a meeting in Rome with Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, to discuss various matters between the two states.
Camilleri announced that Malta will participate in the 2025 Jubilee of the ‘Pilgrims of Hope’, with a focus on involving prisoners as part of their rehabilitation. This aligns with Malta’s efforts in prison rehabilitation, including mental health support and integration programs.
Both sides agreed to further collaboration for the benefit of citizens. The same commitment was discussed during a meeting between Camilleri and Cardinal Mario Grech in Rome, emphasising the importance of strengthening Malta-Vatican relations, particularly on shared interests such as peace-building.
The Maltese delegation, including Ambassador Frank Zammit and Police Commissioner Angelo Gafà, also had a general audience with Pope Francis, accompanied by a performance from the Police Band.
