The President of the Supreme State Council, Mohammed Takala, discussed with the Turkish Ambassador to Libya, Güven Begeç, and his accompanying delegation the bilateral relations between the two countries and ways to develop and enhance them to serve mutual interests, as well as cooperation on issues of common concern, according to the Council’s media office.

The media office added via its Facebook page that during the meeting held at the Supreme State Council headquarters in Tripoli, Ambassador Begeç emphasized the depth of relations between Libya and Turkey and his country’s interest in making efforts to enhance Libya’s stability, extend security and peace across its territories, and reconcile political parties to follow a democratic path that ends transitional phases.
