The agreement was signed by H.E. Zhang Zuo, Ambassador of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China and Mr Joseph Stafrace, Founder, Vice Chairperson & Operations Manager of the Malta Service Dogs Foundation.

 

The signing ceremony was held at San Anton Palace on June 23, 2026, and was also attended by Mr. Christopher Cutajar, Permanent Secretary for Foreign and European Affairs, and representatives of the Embassy and the Foundation.
