Malta Xlokk, also known as the South Eastern Region, was a region of Malta between 1993 and 2009. It was located on the main island of Malta, bordering Malta Majjistral. It included the capital Valletta. The name referred to the Sirocco wind, which is Xlokk in Maltese.
The region was created by the Local Councils Act of 30 June 1993, and was integrated into the constitution in 2001.[1] It was abolished by Act No. XVI of 2009, and it was divided into the Southern Region and part of the South Eastern Region.[2]
