Tripoli, 28 November 2016:

Greek foreign minister Nikos Kotzias has said in Tripoli today that his country is anxious to reopen its embassy in the capital, which closed in the summer of 2014 along with most other Western missions and then relocated to Tunis.

Kotzias flew into Mitiga in a Greek military plane for meetings with Presidency Council president Faiez Serraj and foreign minister-designate Mohamed Siala.  PC members always press visiting overseas ministers to return their envoys to Tripoli. Kotzias said he wanted to demonstrate his government’s readiness to support and strengthen Libya, in the interests of the wider stability in the Mediterranean.

Kotzias urged coordinated action to get rid of IS terrorists, said the Greek news agency IBNA. He had in addition come to discuss closer cooperation in education and the protection of Libya’s cultural heritage, a significant part of which in Cyrenaica, is from classical Greece. The talks also touched on trade and energy.

It is not known if Kotzias discussed the solar power deal cut by the Thinni government in Beida last month, whereby a group of Greek businessmen undertook to build solar power stations in the east of the country.  Surplus power would be exported to Greece by sub-sea cable.  Thinni said the final details of the project would be set out in “the coming days” but no such announcement has yet been made. Thinni’s government had also discussed the use of Greek hospitals to treat war wounded.
