The head of the Presidential Council of Libya, Mohammed Menfi, sent congratulations to Vladimir Putin on his re-election as president of the Russian Federation, the press service of the Russian Foreign Ministry reported on March 18.
In his message, Menfi highlighted the especially friendly nature of Russian-Libyan relations.
Recall that on July 28, 2023, negotiations took place between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Chairman of the Libyan Presidential Council, Mohammed Menfi, on the sidelines of the Russia-Africa summit in St. Petersburg.
We also recall that on March 10, 2024, a trilateral meeting took place in Cairo under the auspices of the League of Arab States, which was attended by the president of the House of Representatives of Libya, Aguila Saleh, the president of the Presidential Council of Libya, Mohamed Menfi, and the Head of the Supreme Council of State of Libya, Mohamed Takala.
The result of the meeting was the decision to form a new unified government in Libya, which will hold elections.
This decision marks the removal from power of Abdel Hamid Dbeibah, head of the Interim Government of National Unity of Libya, formed after the Geneva conference.
The agreement signed in Geneva ended on June 21, 2022, but Dbeibah refused to leave office and, relying on armed groups in the capital, continued to serve as prime minister.
