Italy’s Foreign Minister Pays Quick Trip To Libya
Fayez al-Sarraj , Prime Minister of Libya’s UN-recognised Government of National Accord , meets with Italy’s Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio in the Libyan capital Tripoli on June 24, 2020, while clad in masks due to the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Italy’s foreign minister made a lightening trip to Libya on Wednesday amid a flaring conflict between a UN-recognised government in the west and eastern-based forces loyal to strongman Khalifa Haftar.
Rome considers Libya “a priority… our most important issue, which concerns our national security,” according to an unnamed ministry source, cited by the Messaggero daily. Libya has been mired in chaos since the 2011 uprising that toppled and later killed longt-time dictator Moamer Kadhafi.
