The Ministry of the Interior of Libya’s interim unity government, headed by Abdulhamid Dbeibeh, said that its Undersecretary for District Affairs, Bashir al-Amin, held talks on Thursday with Türkiye’s ambassador to Libya Kenan Yilmaz.

They discussed a number of common security issues between the Libyan and Turkish interior ministries, as well as means to enhance security coordination in the field of training and qualifying security personnel.

Talks also touched on the problems facing Libyan citizens to obtain the Turkish visa and efforts to overcome the challenges, in coordination with both countries’ embassies and relevant authorities.

Separately, Dbeibeh underscored the importance of determining specific dates to issue the constitutional basis for the elections, stressing that it should be fair and unbiased.

This came during his meeting with heads of some political parties in Tripoli on Thursday. He also called for preparing alternative solutions.

According to a statement circulated by his office, Dbeibeh further underlined the importance of the political parties’ participation in the political process as the basis of the democratic process.

He also reviewed the government's vision, which requires setting a new road map that leads directly to the elections.

The party leaders, for their part, underlined the need to issue a new regulation for the law governing parties and political organizations, in line with the developments taking place.
