Moroccan-Libyan talks in Rabat
Moroccan Premier Abderrahmane Youssoufi conferred Thursday evening in Rabat with secretary of the Libyan general popular committee for African Unity, Abdeslam Triki, on latest developments on the Arab scene.
Talks also covered the role of southern Mediterranean countries in the Euro-Mediterranean process, in addition to bilateral cooperation.
The two sides equally discussed the coming summit of the Community of Sahel-Saharian States (CEN-SAD), scheduled for next March.
CEN-SAD musters 16 member countries, namely Libya, Egypt, Sudan, Tunisia, Morocco, Djibouti, Eritrea, Gambia, Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Central African Republic and Somalia. It was established in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, in February 1998 for the promotion of peace and stability as well as for rural, social and economic development of the whole region.
The Libyan official had earlier handed Moroccan secretary of state for foreign affairs and cooperation, Taieb Fassi Fihri, a written message from Libyan President Moammar Kaddafi to King Mohammed VI.
