Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu "dispatched a high-level political delegation to Libya to get to know the reality on the ground and developments taking place," a statement by the organization said.
The mission, led by the head of the OIC's political department, Mahdi Fathalla, will hold "consultations with the concerned parties in Libya and discuss some ideas on the Libyan issue which the OIC secretary-general had already discussed with the Europeans during his recent European tour," it said. The delegation will meet officials in Tripoli and members of the National Transitional Council in Benghazi. |
