Egyptian Libyan talks on status of Egyptian labor

Egyptian-Libyan talks are to kick off today in Tripoli on the status of the Egyptian labor there after the decision issued last month to fire the foreign workers and replace them by Libyan nationals.

The decision includes the people working in coffee shops, stores, restaurants and hotels in particular and other jobs in general. The talks will tackle the negative impacts on the Egyptian community in Libya that is estimated at about 500,000 people.
