Carmelo Abela (PL) and Beppe Fenech Adami (PN) represented for the first time the Maltese parliament in NATO’s Parliamentary Assembly held in Montreal, Canada. The 70th summit of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly was held between 22 and 25 November and this was the first time that a Maltese delegation attended. The Maltese parliament voted unanimously last year to become an associate member of the NATO assembly with Malta's request being accepted during a summit held last May in Bulgaria. The NATO PA is made up of 281 delegates from 32 NATO member countries. The summit ended with a plenary meeting on Monday, addressed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and Raymonde Gagné, Speaker of the Senate of Canada.
