March 11, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Belarusian Deputy Prime Minister Viktar Karankievi\u010d met Osama Hamada of the eastern Lybia\u2019s civilian government to discuss expansion of bilateral ties, the Libyan side reported. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The officials signed several important documents to support development in Libya, it noted, without specifying further details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit is taking place just a few weeks after Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka expressed readiness to cooperate with Libya following a meeting with Khalifa Belqasim Omar Haftar, commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA), in Minsk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Karankievi\u010d heads a large delegation during the visit, which was not announced by Minsk. It includes Health Minister Alaksandar Chad\u017eaje\u016d, Education Minister Andrej Ivaniec, Industry Minister Alaksandar Jafima\u016d, Agriculture Minister Juryj Har\u0142o\u016d and Emergency Management Minister Vadzim Sinia\u016dski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Committee for State Security (KGB) chief Ivan Tertel, Siarhiej \u0141uka\u0161evi\u010d of the foreign ministry as well as oil and petrochemical giant Bie\u0142naftachim\u2019s CEO Illa Ikan and are also in eastern Lybia. The latter reportedly discussed the work of a joint contact group for cooperation in the oil sector with Awad Kweidir of the Arabian Gulf Oil Company and Awad Al-Badri in charge of eastern Libya\u2019s energy production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key priorities of cooperation feature geological exploration, mineral extraction technologies, supplies of equipment and machinery and energy sector upgrades, the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Libya\u2019s political crisis has been ongoing since Muammar Gaddafi\u2019s fall in 2011. Since March 2022, two different governments control the country, the Tripoli-based and internationally recognized led by Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh and Benghasi-based government led by Osama Hamada. The LNA, led by 81-year-old Haftar, is loyal to the Libyan House of Representatives in Tobruk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019, Haftar launched a failed attack on Tripoli. Reports suggested that his troops were aided by Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
