Maltese Citizens Will Be Able To Enter China Without VISA For 30 Days

Maltese Citizens Will Be Able To Enter China Without VISA For 30 Days
Nov 22 2024 Share

Starting November 30, 2024, Maltese citizens with ordinary passports can travel to China visa-free for up to 30 days.

This agreement, valid until December 31, 2025, covers purposes such as business, tourism, family visits, exchanges, and transit. Those not meeting the visa exemption criteria must still obtain a visa before traveling.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade, Ian Borg, described the development as a significant step in strengthening bilateral relations.

“This agreement reflects mutual trust and a commitment to fostering ties in tourism, business, and cultural exchange. It simplifies travel for Maltese citizens while creating opportunities for deeper cooperation and trade,” Borg stated.

China has also extended this visa-free policy to nine other countries: Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Estonia, Latvia, Japan, and Malta.

This marks the second major agreement between Malta and China within a year.

The first was a memorandum of understanding on exporting bluefin tuna to China, signed during Deputy Prime Minister Ian Borg’s official visit to China in November 2023. These developments underline the growing partnership and shared goals between the two nations.

Mac Miller’s Balloonerism Set for 2025 Release

Mac Miller’s Balloonerism Set for 2025 Release
Nov 22 2024 Share

According to Mac Miller’s estate, the late rapper’s posthumous album Balloonerism will be released by Warner on January 17, 2025. An official trailer has confirmed the revelation, which was previously hinted at during the California Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival.

Miller’s fans have been speculating about Balloonerism for years. The project is thought to have been recorded between 2013 and 2015, along with his albums GO:OD AM, Delusional Thomas, Faces, and Watching Movies With the Sound Off.

Miller’s family revealed in a statement how important the album was to him. Malcolm always emphasised how crucial it was to free Balloonerism. They claimed that it demonstrates the range of his musical abilities and artistic bravery. The project was neglected in favour of other releases, despite its importance.

Although bootleg versions of the record have been around for a while, the official release respects Miller’s vision. The announcement comes after Circles, his first posthumous album, which was released in 2020 as a follow-up to his 2018 album Swimming, was a success.

Miller, whose real name was Malcolm McCormick, died of an unintentional overdose in 2018. Another look at the talent that made a lasting impression on the music industry may be found in Balloonerism.

Katy Perry Wins Trademark Against Australian Designer Katie Perry

Katy Perry Wins Trademark Against Australian Designer Katie Perry
Nov 22 2024 Share

Katy Perry has successfully appealed a trademark decision regarding her name, after being sued by Australian designer Katie Taylor, who sells clothes under her birth name, Katie Perry.

On Friday, three appeal judges overturned a 2023 court ruling that favoured Taylor, who had challenged the use of Perry’s name on merchandise sold during her 2014 tour of Australia.

The judges determined that Perry had been using her name as a trademark for five years before Taylor launched her business, noting Perry’s established “international reputation” in entertainment by that time.

As a result, the judges canceled Taylor’s trademark registration. Taylor, comparing the case to “David and Goliath,” expressed her concerns over the decision.

The judges acknowledged the unfortunate situation, noting that both women had worked hard to build their businesses without knowledge of the other’s existence.

The judge who previously sided with Taylor had referenced one of Perry’s songs in her ruling, calling it “a tale of two women, two teenage dreams, and one name.”
