Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>The Prime minister of the UN-backed government in Libya hosted his Italian counterpart, in Tripoli Tuesday (May. 7)<\/b><\/p>\n

Abdul Hamid Dbeibah and Giorgia Meloni held bilateral talks.<\/p>\n

Meloni was accompanied by the Minister of University and Research, the Minister of Health, and the Minister of Sport and Youth who signed declarations of intent to step up cooperation.<\/p>\n

The declarations on university cooperation and research, health, sports and youth are part of the Mattei Plan framework.<\/p>\n

A plan sponsored by the Italian government which seeks to reduce illegal migration from Africa to Italy through economic prosperity. The plan also aims to transform Italy into a key energy supply hub.<\/p>\n

Libya\u2019s location on the Mediterranean, and the political chaos that followed the killing of Muammar Kadafi, have made the country a major route for migrants trying to reach Europe.<\/p>\n

In the instability context, the country split, with rival administrations in the east and west backed by rogue militias and foreign governments.<\/p>\n

The Libya to Italy crossing is nwo one of the most-used and dangerous routes for sea migration.<\/p>\n

According to Italian news Agency, Agenzia Nova, Meloni will also meet with Khalifa Haftar. Libya’s other strongman who virtually controls the eastern part of the country.<\/p>\n

Before Libya and most recenty Albania, Italy, a coastal European country, sought more solidarity from fellow EU nations, mainly in vain.<\/p>\n
