Malta urges EU member states to collectively explore measures to counter hybrid attacks while strengthening the resilience of electoral systems and critical infrastructure, including Mediterranean undersea cables.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism Ian Borg expressed Malta’s solidarity with EU countries affected by hybrid threats following a meeting with EU foreign ministers and High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaya Kallas. The discussion focused on hybrid threats during the EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting in Brussels.

Malta advocates for further expert discussions to create a dedicated EU strategy to tackle such threats effectively.

“Undersea electricity cables, gas pipelines, and telecommunication networks must be protected in EU waters, especially in areas like the Baltic Sea, Mediterranean, Black Sea, and Atlantic coast, where attacks are frequent.

These threats impact our security and have significant long-term environmental consequences,” Borg emphasised.

The meeting also addressed the situation in Ukraine, developments in the Middle East, and transatlantic relations.

On Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, Borg stressed the need for EU unity in supporting Ukraine, even during negotiations. “The peace plan must be led by Ukraine with EU involvement,” he asserted.

He reiterated Malta’s commitment to tackling Russia’s shadow fleet and implementing maritime prohibitions while mitigating their impact on key industries.

Regarding the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, Borg emphasised the importance of full implementation, highlighting ongoing challenges and the need to address the root causes of instability, including Iran’s role and the lack of a two-state solution.

The EU’s transatlantic relationship with the US was also discussed as essential for addressing global challenges and ensuring collective security and prosperity.
