According to what was reported by the Libyan “Our Government” platform, during their meeting in Tripoli on Wednesday, the two sides discussed a number of political and economic files and aspects of cooperation between the two countries.
Al-Dabaiba expressed his appreciation for Turkey's role in supporting stability in Libya, supporting international efforts to hold elections, and ending the transitional phase.
In turn, Fidan conveyed the greetings of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Dabaiba and the Libyan people, and stressed the bonds of brotherhood and cooperation between the two countries.
