Libyan President Muammar al-Qaddafi has received a message from the Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in which the Egyptian President stressed his country's backing to the foundation of the African federation and its readiness to proceed forward into African unity.

In his message, the Egyptian President also stressed Egypt's stand with Libya in the question of Lockerbie and its demand to immediately and ultimately lift the oppressive measures imposed on Libya because of this case.
