Haftar and Nguesso held a consultative meeting on Tuesday in the city of Benghazi in the presence of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aqila Saleh, and the head of the parallel government, Osama Hamad, to discuss ways to enhance national reconciliation efforts in Libya, and the importance of pushing this project forward to achieve stability and consensus among all Libyan parties.
Haftar's media office said on its Facebook page that the Nguesso commended the initiative put forward by Haftar, stressing that it "represents an important step toward achieving comprehensive national reconciliation, and that it is considered one of the main foundations that can be built upon to unite Libyans and achieve stability in the country."
Nguesso arrived in Benghazi on Tuesday, as part of his official tour of Libya, which he began in Tripoli on Monday, when he met with the Head of the Presidential Council, Mohammed Menfi, the member of the Council, Abdullah Al-Lafi, and the Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah.
The Libyan News Agency said that Nguesso's visit to Benghazi came within the framework of strengthening bilateral relations between Libya and Congo, discussing ways of joint cooperation in various fields, including politics and economy.
