The Minister of Interior in the outgoing Libyan “National Unity” government, Imad Trabelsi, discussed after his talks at the Carthage Presidential Palace in Tunisia with President Kais Saied and Tunisian Interior Minister Kamal al-Fiqi, the details of this vital agreement.
“We went to the Carthage Palace, and Tunisian Interior Minister Kamal al-Fiki and I met with President Kais Saied and discussed with him several topics of interest to both countries,” Trabelsi said.
Referring to the practical steps that will be taken on the ground, Trabelsi added: “We agreed to open the Ras Jedir land border crossing between Libya and Tunisia,” explaining that “instructions will be given to the competent Libyan and Tunisian authorities to start opening the crossing, and to take all measures.”
The Libyan minister pointed out that this decision comes “after the completion of security work and security equipment,” stressing that “the crossing will be opened to Libyan and Tunisian travelers from Libya to Tunisia and from Tunisia to Libya according to the laws in the two countries, as well as the return of trade exchange between them.”
