“We will intensify our resolve to fight money laundering and the financing of terrorism. We will engage with our international partners as and when necessary. And we will strengthen further good governance in this country, which will serve as a solid foundation on which we will build our future economy.”

Addressing Maltese families and businesses, he declared “my guarantee is that Gozo and Malta will keep on moving forward. This is my promise and commitment. It is my pledge with you.”

He appealed for unity, saying that now is not the time to play political games. “We are a small country. This means that for our voice to be heard, we must always be united.”
