“We follow carefully and sympathetically the events in Libya and we hope and try in every possible way to overcome this stage in the lives of the Libyans, until it becomes a prosperous country again” she said.
“This is not the first time that you have visited Russia, where it is a real pleasure for me to have the opportunity to meet you and exchange views as we look forward to a fruitful conversation regarding the situation in Libya”, Matviyenko added.
