The relationship between the Governments of Africa and Malta over the years has been mutually beneficial guided by trust, respect and friendly relations.

Although the Africa and Malta business communities have recorded tremendous successes in bi-lateral trade, there is a large trade imbalance in favor of Malta as it exports represent some 80 per cent of the total bilateral trade volumes. This gap needs to be reduced.

Therefore, Malta Africa Economic and Investment Forum is a forum that promotes mutual beneficial relationship in business transactions among Malta and Africa. This is projecting Nigeria not only as a consumer market alone, but as an investment destination where goods can be manufactured and consumed locally.

Malta Africa Economic and Investment Forum explore ways of practical cooperation in trade, investment, finance, human resources, agriculture, fishing and also strengthen industrial capacity cooperation in the manufacture of cars, household appliances, construction materials, textiles, food processing, and others. This is in line with Globe Chamber of Commerce focus on Growing Africa's Rural Economy and Turning the Population into a Productive Nation.
