Let $K_{{r},{s},{t}}$ be a complete tripartite graph with $r\leq s \leq t$. Let $C_{k}$ and $S_{k}$ respectively denote a cycle and a star with $k$ edges. In this paper, we show that the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of $\left\{pC_{3},qS_{3}\right\}$ -decomposition of $K_{{r},{s},{t}}$ for all possible values of $p,q\geq0$.
