Libya’s newest Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Dabaiba concluded his visit to Cairo on Friday and headed next to Tobruk city in his first visit to eastern Libya. Libyan sources anticipate that the newest Presidential Council head Mohamed al-Manfi will visit Cairo shortly after Dabaiba’s visit. The sources added that Manfi’s upcoming visit aims to confirm the principles of constructive cooperation and establish a new stage in which comprehensive partnership will be the basis for the future. It also indicates the new Libyan authority’s dependence on its Arab surroundings, with Cairo at its core. Meanwhile, the Special Envoy on Libya and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) Ján Kubiš met with the Commander-in-Chief of the Libyan Army Khalifa Haftar in Benghazi on Friday.
