In a Facebook post, the minister thanked Heritage Malta employees, artist Noel Galea Bason and all involved in the project.
He also thanked Mr Mintoff’s family for their support.
This is the third attempt at a monument for the former Prime Minister after the first two, which had been intended to be abstract, were scrapped.
Mr Mintoff, a fiery and controversial prime minister, died in 2012.
The revamped Castille Square hosts monuments to other prime ministers and significant events.
