A foreign ministers' meeting between Malta, Libya and Italy, due to be held next Friday, has been postponed because the Libyan foreign minister has other diplomatic commitments.

The meeting, which was to have been held in Malta, would have grouped Libyan Foreign Minister Abdurrahaman Mohamed Shalgam, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini and Foreign Minister Tonio Borg. They were to discuss illegal immigration.

The meeting is expected to be held at a later date.
