A high-level delegation from the Tripoli-based Government of National Accord (GNA) arrived in Tunisia on Tuesday. They are due to hold talks on the re-opening of the Ras Al-Jedir border crossing between Tunisia and Libya.
In press statements, the head of the Supreme Council of Libyan-Tunisian Businessmen (SCLTB), Abdel-Hafid Al-Sakroufi, said that the delegation is headed by the undersecretaries of the GNA’s foreign and health ministries.
They are scheduled to meet their Tunisian counterparts to discuss mechanisms to reopen Ras Al-Jedir, as well as develop a joint health protocol in order to address the outbreak of COVID-19.
The issue is mainly linked to the refusal of the Libyans to be placed in a compulsory quarantine upon their arrival in Tunisia.
