Poland in Malta

When on 3 May 1791 the Four-Year Sejm also called the Great Sejm adopted The Government Act of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth later known as the Constitution of 3 May, the Polish-Lithuanian state became the Europe’s first and the world’s second that passed the basic law. For its time, it was a progressive and bold legal act which initiated a number of reforms. It also constituted a crowning achievement of the centuries-old links between Poland and Lithuania.

The Day of Polish Community and Poles Abroad was established in recognition of the historical contribution of diaspora communities to the national objectives of the country of their forefathers. Celebrated jointly with Polish Flag Day, it is intended to encourage Poles to reflect on the glorious pages of the country’s past.

This year, for the first time in history, the foreign ministers of Poland and Israel, Professor Zbigniew Rau and Lt. Gen. (res.) Gabi Ashkenazi, and both countries’ ambassadors in EU member states and across the globe, among them Tomasz Czyszek - ambassador of the Republic of Poland in Malta, have come together to commemorate the 78th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

Future Health Poland 2021 is the three days virtual event for the latest trends, advances and outstanding progress within the medical and healthcare industry in Poland. The event will be held on 23-25 March.

Thirty years ago, on 15 February 1991, the presidents of Poland and the Czechoslovakia, and the prime minister of Hungary signed the Declaration on Cooperation between the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, the Republic of Poland and the Republic of Hungary in Striving for European Integration in the castle of Visegrad, Hungary.

The Visegrad Group (V4) was established 30 years ago as a regional format of cooperation between the four Central European countries: Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary, which are not only linked by neighbourhood and similar geopolitical situation but above all by common history, traditions, culture, and values. We encourage you to view a presentation reminding 30 years of V4 activity.

Attention! New restrictions on the Polish border from 28 December! From 28 December 2020 new restrictions related to the prevention of COVID-19 are in force on the Polish border. Citizens of Poland, EU, EEA and Switzerland who cross the Polish border, constituting the external border of the EU, are no longer exempt from quarantine. After crossing the internal border, persons travelling by public transport are directed to quarantine. Exempt from quarantine are, inter alia, individuals vaccinated against COVID-19.

Due to the Polish presidency of the Visegrad Group, as well as the 30th anniversary of the V4, which will fall next year, the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Valletta has produced a video clip consisting of fragments of pieces by national composers of Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia. Selected melodies were performed by musicians from the Visegrad Group countries living in Malta. In the background - beautiful landscapes of the island.
