Italy's foreign minister is due to arrive in Egypt next week for a round of trilateral talks on Libya, which Cairo will host on Sunday, the state agency MENA reported.
Minister Paolo Gentiloni is also due to hold separate talks with Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shukri, the Italian ambassador to Cairo was cited by MENA as saying on Wednesday.
Egypt, Italy and Algeria have closely followed developments in Libya and the trilateral talks next week, are the second round of talks between the trio in less than three months, after Rome hosted talks in April.
Egypt, in particular has been very vocal about the situation in Libya and has been actively holding talks and advocating for proposed solutions.
Last month, Egypt hosted talks between around 350 representatives of Libyan tribes.
In addition, Shukri said last month that Cairo will host trilateral talks between Egypt, Algeria and Libya. Algeria and Egypt are Libya's western and eastern neighbours, respectively.
The Libya crisis has affected several Egyptians, who have been caught up in fighting between different Libyan factions.
Libya has been caught up in unprecedented violence since mid-2014, when army general Khalifa Haftar declared war on Islamist forces within Libya, prompting nationwide militant fighting.
Libyan capital Tripoli has fallen under the control of the Fajr Libya or Libya Dawn Islamist militia in August 2014. Meanwhile, Egypt and the international community only recognise authorities based in the eastern Libyan city of Tobruk.
In February, Egypt's air force conducted air strikes which it says hit militant targets, after the beheading of 20 Egyptians inside Libya at the hands of militants believed to belong to a Libyan division of the Islamic State fighters.
