Abstract:
The Maltese Islands are located in the Mediterranean Sea and have a total area of 316 km2. They consist of three inhabited islands - Malta (the largest of the group), Gozo and Comino - and two uninhabited islands - Filfla and Cominotto. Malta is a democratic republic. Since its independence in 1964, Malta has played a more significant part in international relations. It became a member of the Commonwealth, the United Nations, the World Health Organization and several other organisations. In May 2004, Malta also became a member of the European Union.
