Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday hosted Libya's prime minister, with bilateral ties, along with regional and global matters, on the agenda, according to Türkiye's Communications Directorate.
Erdogan received Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh at the Presidential Complex in the Turkish capital Ankara, the directorate said in a statement, adding that the two leaders discussed "Türkiye-Libya relations, the latest developments in Libya, Israel's attacks on Palestinian territories, as well as regional and global problems."
During the meeting, Erdogan said Ankara is willing to provide support in launching dialogue to "ensure unity and solidarity in Libya by protecting the legitimacy of the Government of National Unity of Libya," which Dbeibeh heads.
Noting that relations between Türkiye and Libya continue to develop "in all fields," the statement said Erdogan underlined that on energy cooperation, the two countries should be in "close contact to protect their common interests in the Eastern Mediterranean."
"Expressing his appreciation for Libya's support for the Palestinian cause, President Erdogan stated that he supported Libya's decision to intervene in the genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, much like Türkiye's," the statement added.
