DUBAI, United Arab Emirates

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed Türkiye's commitment to the unity and integrity of Libya, stating its readiness to support the dialogue process without undermining the legitimacy of the Government of National Unity.

Erdogan received Libyan Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibeh during the World Governments Summit in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, said the Turkish Communications Directorate.

Erdogan also affirmed Türkiye's continued efforts for a sustainable and lasting solution in Libya and reiterated Türkiye's contributions to ensuring stability in the region.

Libya has been torn by civil war since the 2011 ouster of longtime ruler Muammar Gaddafi, who was later killed.

Türkiye recently announced plans to reopen its consulate in Benghazi, Eastern Libya.
