Libya’s interior minister Fathi Bashagha completed his three-day visit to France on Friday, where he was seeking Paris' support for his ambitious plans to lead the country to next year's elections. Bashagha, who is known for his close ties with Turkey, was in France to gain support and present himself as the next prime minister of the interim government. The Libyan interior minister met the French foreign, interior, and defence ministers in Paris and discussed ways to improve cooperation in the security sector and strengthening relations between the two countries. Fruitful meeting today with @Florence_Parly Minister of French Armed Forces @Armees_Gouv in the context of cooperation in security sector which will promote stability in 🇱🇾 🇫🇷 and the whole region. Bashagha will be lobbying hard to gain support before the members meet again and his France visit is said was be part of the stunt.
