Sai Mizzi’s consular address is in a residential, not business, district
In an earlier post today, I published the address of Malta’s consulate in Shanghai, taken from Shanghai’s official foreign affairs website. Sai Mizzi is listed as the consul, and the consulate opened on 5th September last year. There is no telephone number and no other contact details.
A reader, who lived in Shanghai for many years, saw that post and sent me the following email.
Hong Qiao Road in Xuhui District, Shanghai is not within the “Shanghai free trade zone”. The free trade zone is in Pudong New District across the Huangpu River.
Xuhui district, where the Maltese consulate is listed, is just a nice residential area full of designer shops.
Property in Pudong Free Trade Zone worth only €2m is unlikely to be suitable for office use. It is more likely to be for a family dwelling.
