The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Government of National Unity, Najla Al-Mangoush, deplored the behavior of the Greek Foreign Minister, whose plane landed at Mitiga Airport in the capital, Tripoli, this morning, but refused to get off it to receive him in accordance with diplomatic norms, stressing that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will take appropriate diplomatic measures that preserve the prestige and sovereignty of the State of Libya.

She added that despite the policies and rude positions adopted by the Greek Foreign Minister during the past days towards the interests of the Libyan state, which were reflected in his unbalanced statements regarding Libya’s sovereignty and its right to relations that achieve the aspirations of its people, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs granted approval to the Greek Minister to visit Tripoli at his request, but he refused. He refused to get off his plane in a surprising situation that caused resentment. He refused and returned to where he came from without any explanations.
