Turkish president receives Libyan premier in Istanbul

ISTANBUL

The Turkish president on Friday received the Libyan prime minister.

The closed-door meeting between Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh was held at Dolmabahce Presidential Office in Istanbul.

​​​​​​​Turkey and Libya have seen closer ties in recent years, especially after the signing of security and maritime boundary pacts in November 2019, along with Turkey's aid to help the legitimate Libyan government push back a putschist revolt.
