A Maltese delegation led by Maltese Prime Minister Robert Abela left for Tripoli early Thursday morning.

This is the first official visit abroad by the Prime Minister, who took office in January 2020.

Meetings are scheduled to take place with the Government of National Accord Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj, Foreign Minister Mohamed Siala and Interior Minister Fathi Bashaga.

Discussions are set to focus on immigration, where the Maltese are keen on securing stronger Libyan controls on human trafficking networks.
