Libya's new presidency council meets Erdogan in Istanbul - Ahram Online

Libya's new presidency council meets Erdogan in Istanbul

Libya's new presidency council visited Turkey on Friday for talks with President Tayyip Erdogan, marking the council's first official visit to Turkey since taking office.

Libya's new unity government was sworn in on March 15 from two warring administrations that had ruled eastern and western regions, completing a smooth transition of power after a decade of violent chaos.

Turkey had backed the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) against the Khalifa Haftar's eastern-based Libyan National Army (LNA), which was supported by Russia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and France.

Erdogan's office said in a statement that Mohammed al-Menfi, head of Libya's presidency council, and council member Abdullah al-Lafi would discuss Turkey-Libya relations, possible steps to expand cooperation, and exchange views on international and regional issues during the working visit.
