Malta is to host the next Commonwealth summit after Mauritius pulled out in protest over the decision to hold this year's gathering in Sri Lanka, the organisation's top official said Sunday. "The prime minister of Malta has invited the Commonwealth to hold CHOGM 2015, with Malta as the venue," Secretary General Kamalesh Sharma told a press conference at the end of this year's summit in Colombo. "It (the offer) was received by all members with acclamation."
