RR7915B MALTA IN SEARCH OF NEUTRALITY

(11 Apr 1979) RR7915B MALTA IN SEARCH OF NEUTRALITY Since 1976, Maltese premier Dom Mintoff's policies have been directed at turning Malta into a neutral state. Mintoff's Labour Party renegotiated the status of Britain's military presence: a seven year agreement was signed allowing Britain, as representatives of NATO, to stay until 31st March 1979. Mr. Mintoff has been looking around for new friends and at the ceremony marking the withdrawal of the last of the British forces it was Colonel Gaddafi of Libya who stood at his side. There are also Chinese workers on the island who are building a vast dry dock complex under an interest-free loan from Peking. The British withdrawal means a loss of 70 million dollars in revenue a year, and whether or not Mr. Mintoff can maintain his policy of non-alignment will depend on his ability to avoid economic dependence on any one country.
