Constructive for the Greek-Libyan relations was characterized by Nikos Dendias the meeting with the speaker of the House of Representatives of Libya Aguila Saleh Issa after the diplomatic incident with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the government of Tripoli Naila Mangous.

I expressed to him the Greek satisfaction for the condemnation of the Turkish-Libyan “memorandums” (2019, 2022). Constructive discussion on parliamentary issues and bilateral relations” wrote the foreign minister in a tweet after the meeting.
