Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is expected to stress her government’s commitment to ending the presence of foreign fighters in Libya as she promotes her so-called “Mattei plan” for the region during a state visit to the divided African country.
Meloni will meet officials including Khalifa Haftar, the military commander who holds sway over the oil-producing nation’s east. The prime minister’s office said on Tuesday this was in line with Italy’s commitment to “working with all Libyan actors.” Libya is divided between a government in the capital of Tripoli and a rival administration in the east.
