The plans were also discussed when Libyan officials visited Malta last month, she said, adding that a Libyan priority was to study English.
Chrtina’s comment follow the visit to Malta last month by Employment minister Mustafa Rujibani during which it was agreed that Malta would provide vocational training in 2012 to at least 1,000 Libyans at the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology.

The project is to be funded by the Libyan government. It includes plans to work not only with MCAST but other private institutions.
