Libyan Parliament Speaker Aguila Saleh and the head of the Tripoli-based High Council of State (HCS), Khalid al-Mishri, are set to meet in Egypt later this week, a council member said Wednesday. "Al-Mishri will head for Cairo today to meet with Saleh," he told Anadolu Agency (AA), requesting anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media. He said the two sides will discuss a host of issues, including the constitutional path, the executive authority and sovereign positions. "The constitutional committee tasked with preparing the constitutional basis will meet in Cairo after (the) al-Mishri-Saleh meeting," the council member said. Oil-rich Libya has remained in turmoil since 2011 when longtime ruler Moammar Gadhafi was ousted after four decades in power.
