Speaking at the event, Parliamentary Secretary for Public Works Omar Farrugia praised the graduates for their achievement, stating that by earning their warrant, they have now become “the authors of our country’s future.”

“As of today, you will begin to shape the future of our country,” he told the newly warranted professionals, underscoring the importance of their role in building a sustainable Malta.

Farrugia emphasized the national and global responsibility that comes with the warrant. “Our country, which is an integral part of the dynamic changes happening around the world, now more than ever needs your knowledge and skills to build sustainably, because the future of our country lies in all our hands. As a government, we remain committed to providing full support to your profession,” he said.

He further stated that the warrant is far more than a legal permit. “This warrant is a promise of integrity, competence, and respect towards the public in general.”

President of the Chamber of Architects, Architect Andre Pizzuto, also addressed the ceremony. He highlighted that the warrant signifies formal recognition from the state, while also placing professional and ethical obligations on each architect—especially in relation to Malta’s historical and environmental heritage.

Pizzuto commended the recent government investment in the Chamber of Architects, describing it as the first of its kind and an important step in strengthening the institution.

Architect Claude Mallia, a member of the Architects’ Warrant Board, reflected on the significance of the moment for the new professionals. “This marks the end of a long chapter of study and sacrifice, and the beginning of a new journey filled with responsibilities. As they join their peers, they must work toward forming a new Malta,” he said.
