Head of the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA), Fayez al-Sarraj, held talks in Istanbul on Saturday with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

The two officials stressed the need to resolve the Libyan crisis peacefully and through the United Nations and Berlin conference outcomes.

A statement from the GNA Presidential Council said Sarraj and Erdogan discussed the implementation of the memoranda of understanding signed between the two sides last year.

The agreements tackled military cooperation and the demarcation of maritime borders in the Mediterranean.

They also tackled economic cooperation, investment, efforts to combat the novel coronavirus pandemic and the return of Turkish companies to Libya.
