ANKARA
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Tuesday met with Libya’s deputy prime minister.
Cavusoglu said on Twitter that he had a “productive meeting” with Ahmed Maiteeq.
“Will always stand by our Libyan brothers & sisters,” Cavusoglu added.
Libya’s government, formed in 2015, in the wake of the ouster of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, has faced a number of challenges, including attacks by warlord Khalifa Haftar.
In recent months, however, the UN-recognized government has turned the tide against Haftar’s forces.
Turkey supports the government based in the capital Tripoli, and a non-military resolution of the crisis.
Turkey and Libya last fall signed pacts on security cooperation and maritime boundaries.
