Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis will today meet with Libyan officials including interim Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah in Tripoli. Mitsotakis will also reopen Greece’s embassy in Libya during his visit, deepening ties with Tripoli’s new internationally-recognised Government of National Unity (GNU). Today’s meeting follows an October 2020 ceasefire between the Greek-backed, self-declared Libyan National Army (LNA) and the GNU’s predecessor, the Government of National Accord (GNA). Therefore, Mitsotakis will likely continue expressing support for the GNU and offer Libya increased stabilisation funding while attempting to decrease Turkish influence by stressing the need for foreign actors to exit Libya.
