Presidential Council Receives French and German Foreign Ministers in Tripoli.

Tripoli, 17 April 2016(Lana) The Presidential Council of the National Accord Government on Saturday received German Foreign Minister Frank Steinmer and the French Foreign Minister Jean Marc Eyrlaut who arrived earlier in the Libyan capital. The Head and members of the Presidential Council highlighted the relationship between Libya and France and also between Libya and Germany, and the support that both countries offered to Libya in the uprising against the former regime, and also during the political dialogue, stressing that this role still was key and effective. The Chair of the Council said the migration is one of the key issues tackled by the government. He appreciated the technical support offered in the security field, provided that it was an assistance not intervention, and also within the programme prepared by the government and in coordination with it. The French and German Ministers said the security arrangements they saw after arriving at the airport indicated that the situation in Tripoli is stable, and this encourages us the international community to gradually return our diplomatic missions. They said a committee was to be set up to facilitate the return of diplomatic missions, and to activate cooperation treaties between Libya and their countries, which would positively impact the economic situation and return of foreign investments to the country. =Lana=
