Iraq and Libya have resolved longstanding issues involving properties belonging to each country in Baghdad and Tripoli, Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein said on Sunday during talks with Libya’s acting Foreign Minister Al-Taher Salem Al-Baour.

Hussein welcomed Libya’s completion of procedures concerning Iraqi-owned properties in Tripoli, saying that Baghdad had completed procedures involving two properties belonging to the Libyan Embassy in the Iraqi capital. Neither side provided further details on the properties or the issues that had delayed their resolution.

The development came as Al-Baour held a series of meetings in Baghdad, including talks with Prime Minister Ali Falih al-Zaidi.

During the meeting, Al-Baour delivered a message from Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah inviting al-Zaidi to visit Libya and calling for closer bilateral ties.
