The Italian Special Envoy for Libya, Nicola Orlando, expressed his support for “urgently relaunching the political process in Libya,” the Italian news agency Nova reported.
Italy supports “the urgent relaunch of the political process in Libya, facilitated by the United Nations envoy, Abdoulaye Bathily,” Orlando said, after meeting Vice-President of the Presidential Council Musa al-Koni in Tunisia, at a conference on border cooperation between Libya and the coast organized by the European Union.
Orland noted that the Tunis conference represents “an important step forward in the EU’s cooperation with the region in order to combat terrorism, human trafficking and other illegal trade operations and to support sustainable development.”
