Gaddafi meets with Brazilian parliamentary delegation

Libyan, President Muammar Gaddafi on Wednesday received the Brazilian parliamentary delegation currently visiting Libya, including representatives of several Brazilian parties.

Members of the Brazilian delegation expressed satisfaction over the ruling of the International Court of Justice concerning the question of Lockerbie. The court decided that it has jurisdiction to rule on a Libyan complaint involving the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am jet over Lockerbie, Scotland.

The delegates said this decision will refute all claims raised by Britain and the US in imposing repressive measures on Libya. The delegation also stressed the importance of supporting and boosting relations between Libya and Brazil for the growth and progress of the two countries.
