TRIPOLI, Libya

Head of the Tripoli-based unity government Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh has stressed the necessity of his country's cooperation with Türkiye in the economic, political, and military fields.

This came in a statement by Dbeibeh’s media office late Tuesday, after he received Türkiye's Ambassador to Libya Kenan Yilmaz and the staff of Turkish Military Attache Tevabil Menekse on the occasion of the end of Menekse's term in Libya.

According to the statement, Dbeibeh thanked Menekse for cooperation throughout his term at the Turkish Embassy in Libya.

He stressed "the need to cooperate with Türkiye in the economic, political, and military fields."

Libya and Türkiye signed several security, military, and economic agreements over the past few years.
