Di Maio in Haftar, no military response

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 13 - "In Libya there is a people who want answers. However, the answer cannot be in any military way. They cannot be weapons or bombings. The road to follow must inevitably be that of dialogue and diplomacy ". This was written by the Foreign Minister, Luigi Di Maio, after his meeting in Benghazi with General Khalifa Haftar. "I did not hesitate to say at the beginning of my mandate at the Foreign Ministry that land had been lost in Libya, but today it is equally necessary to say that something has been recovered. We are back to have a decisive weight in the EU and an undoubted reliability with all the actors involved, This is also thanks to the work of our technicians, the diplomatic corps and our intelligence apparatuses ", writes Di Maio again. "The path, of course, remains complex, so no triumphalisms or slogans of any kind. On the contrary - he adds - we must continue to work constantly, work for peace and, in the same way, to defend our geostrategic assets"
