| 2012-11-24 |
| [Tripoli Post] As a part of strengthening bilateral relations with Tunisia, Libya has provided $200M in aid to this Arab country which is facing economic difficulties since the uprising of last year. The agreement was concluded during Libya's President of the National Congress Mr. Mohamed Magarief to Tunisia last week. The Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki announced the good news during a joint presser with Magarief in the Tunisian capital, Tunis. "It is the first financial interaction which will be followed by others as we solidify the excellent relations linking the two countries," said Marzouki. Al-Megarief also said that he and Tunisian President Marzouki were withholding recognition of the new Syrian opposition coalition until they could evaluate how representative it was. "We and Libya are in agreement that we will wait before recognizing. We need to have a real idea about the representation on this body," Marzouki said. |
