TRIPOLI, 7 April, 2021 (TON): On Tuesday, the Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi arrived in Libya.

In Italian PM’s first trip outside Italy, he met the Libyan PM Abdul Hamid Dbeibah.

The meeting comes as Italy tries to reassert its role as a prominent ally of Libya after being pushed aside in recent years by Turkey, Russia, France and nations eager to influence the precarious political situation.

Additionally, efforts to stop the flow of migrants through Libya and across the Mediterranean also included.

However, the political crisis in the region seems to improve as the Libya has seen renewed interests from the international community since UN-mediated talks in February to form an interim unity was agreed to.

Moreover, last week, France announced to reopen its embassy in Libya's capital Tripoli and demanded the immediate withdrawal of foreign fighters.
