Head of mission: Mr. Johann Baldacchino Romano, Honorary Consul (as of 2015)
Belarus offers a unique blend of cultural sites and natural retreats, making it an appealing destination for some Maltese travelers. With around 200,000 Maltese traveling abroad annually, a portion may find interest in exploring Belarus's landscapes and historical attractions.
Belarus presents some safety concerns for tourists, especially when compared to Malta. It ranks 38th out of 40 countries for safety while walking alone at night, significantly lower than Malta's 26th position. The Global Peace Index places Belarus at 110th out of 160 countries, indicating a higher level of unrest. In terms of crime statistics, the murder rate in Belarus is 2.4 per 100,000 people, compared to Malta's very low rate of 0.4. Additionally, Belarus has a higher incidence of female murders at 1.7, while Malta reports none. Organized crime indices also reflect greater challenges in Belarus, with a state crime index of 9.0, compared to Malta's 7.5. Other crime-related indices show that Belarus generally faces more issues with organized crime and trafficking than Malta. Overall, while Belarus can be visited by tourists, it is advisable to exercise caution and stay informed about local conditions.
