Libya: Minister Di Maio, positive development on the issue of military visas

The Foreign Ministry welcomes the decision of the Libyan authorities to resume the procedures for issuing visas to Italian military personnel working in Misurata, as part of the Bilateral Assistance and Support Mission in Libya (MIASIT). This is a positive development that will allow the Mission to return to normal operations, achieved in the wake of a persistent dialogue with the authorities in Tripoli conducted by the Italian Foreign Ministry and the Embassy in Tripoli, in constant liaison with the Ministry of Defence. For Minister Di Maio, “this result, for which I also wish to thank Minister Guerini, is an important sign of cooperation shown by the Libyan authorities, which is part of the broader and strategic bilateral cooperation between Italy and Libya”.
