Kathimerini daily newspaper stated that Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced visit to Libya on April 6, a government spokesperson said on Thursday.

The visit comes in the wake of the political change in the North African country and reflects Athens’ aim to restore its relations with Libya and to safeguard Greece’s geostrategic interests.

Mitsotakis is scheduled to meet Mohamed al-Menfi, the new chairman of the Presidential Council of the new Government of National Unity (GNU), and Libya’s new interim prime minister, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah.

His visit will also mark the immediate opening of the Greek embassy in Tripoli.
