Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said he would visit Libya on Wednesday as Türkiye seeks to expand its ties to North African country. Amid the instability that followed the ouster of Moammar Gadhafi, Türkiye shut down the consulate in 2014. He said President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Putin would discuss the war in Ukraine and the Black Sea Grain Initiative during the visit. A Turkish official told Reuters last week he would visit Türkiye on Feb. 12. The Kremlin has said Erdoğan and Putin would discuss setting up a gas hub in Türkiye and the war in Ukraine during the visit.
