Clinton met with Maltese Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi in the capital city of Valletta, the State Department said.
"The Prime Minister and I discussed the importance of supporting the democratic aspirations of the Libyan people. They are beginning to build a new future for their country and they have a long road ahead," Clinton said in a State Department statement.
Earlier this year, American citizens and embassy staff were evacuated from Libya to the nearby island, Clinton said.
"Malta's unique geography, history, and expertise will make it a valued partner in this work," Clinton said.
