Tunisian President Kais Saied has arrived in the Libyan capital on Wednesday for talks with the newly appointed interim unity government.

“Saied is the first foreign leader to visit Tripoli since the new administration took office within this week.

“He was received upon landing in the capital by Mohammed Menfi, the head of the Presidency Council and Menfi’s two deputies,’’ the Tunisian presidency said.

Saied is also scheduled to conduct talks with Prime Minister Abdul-Hamid Dbeibeh.

He is the first Tunisian president to visit Libya since 2012.
