Libya working to enable visa-free travel for Turks

Libya will work to enable visa-free visits for Turkish nationals, the prime minister of Libya's Government of National Unity said in the Turkish capital on April 13. 
"We will immediately start procedures for the complete abolition of visa (requirements) and begin the necessary initiatives to launch an embassy in the capital Ankara and a consulate in the northeastern city of Benghazi," Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh told a Turkey-Libya hybrid round table meeting.
Speaking on the last day of a two-day official visit, Dbeibeh pledged full support for the Turkish private sector doing more business in Libya.
"We want the Turkish and Libyan private sectors to interact and even merge," Dbeibeh said, adding:
"We will do whatever it takes to make it easier for you to do business with Libyan businesses in various sectors."
Saying that the Government of National Unity is rebuilding Libya after a rocky period for the country, Dbeibeh added: "We hope to remobilize this progress again, which will contribute positively to the lives of our citizens."

Dbeibeh highlighted that Libya's various agreements with Turkey will help the government fulfill the needs of Libyans.
"One of the priorities of our government is to restart all interrupted projects and remove the hurdles blocking them," he stressed.
Pointing to the size of Turkish investments in Libya, Dbeibeh invited businesses to the country to complete existing projects and undertake new ones.
"I can invite all companies doing business in Libya: we will solve all your financial problems and none of your rights will be lost," Dbeibeh stressed, adding that the government respects and recognizes all agreements signed in the past.
