The famous Chinese artist and sailor Zhai Mo,  the first Chinese to circumnavigate the globe solo on a sailing boat, arrived in Malta. Zhai Mo and his crew are retracing the Ancient Maritime Silk Road, an initiative in response to a call by Chinese President Xi Jinping to build a Silk Road Economic belt, a Maritime Silk Road of the 21st Century.


Zhai Mo started the journey from China and visited six countries before coming to Malta

Transport Malta facilitated the logistics of the welcome into the Grand Harbour.
