Strong Representation
Malta yesterday made strong representations with Libya over illegal immigration, saying it was "not in a position" to accept more migrants leaving from Libyan shores. As the island grapples with one of its worst immigration crises, Foreign Minister Michael Frendo summoned Libya's Ambassador to Malta, Saad El-Shelmani, to an urgent meeting and asked him to "urgently" transmit this message to the authorities in Tripoli. Dr Frendo underlined the need for Libya to cooperate with Malta on the matter. [The Times Of Malta]
Us Urges Donald Manzullo
U.S. Representative Donald Manzullo urged North Korea on Tuesday to follow the example of Libya and scrap its nuclear weapons in exchange for aid and diplomatic recognition. "We believe that North Korea can come into the family of nations, disarmed and at the same time ready for economic development, ready for trade, ready to become a member of the international community where they don't have to have the nuclear program ... something similar to Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi of Libya," Manzullo told a news conference in Beijing. Libya announced in December 2003 that it would abandon plans to develop weapons of mass destruction and allow international weapons inspectors into the country. The United States relaxed its trade embargo on Libya in April 2004 to allow U.S. companies to buy the north African country's oil and invest in its economy for the first time since 1986. [Reuters]
