The peoples of Cuba and Malta are characterized by the defense of self-determination. They also have similarities in their identity and history.

Both nations signed a memorandum of understanding to strengthen ties and collaboration in New York on September 26, 2019.

Cuba thanks Malta for its support every year for the resolution at the United Nations General Assembly to demand the lifting of the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the United States on the Caribbean island.
