Libya's new interim PM Abdulhamid Dbeibeh gestures as he speaks in parliament in Sirte, Libya, March 9, 2021.
"The Libyan-Turkish agreement in the eastern Mediterranean is in the interest of the state of Libya," Dbeibeh said, adding, "Libya has gained a fine share of its right to [natural] gas" after the agreement.On November 27, 2019, the internationally recognised Libyan government signed a security cooperation agreement and demarcation of a maritime border with Turkey.
The parliament, which split between western and eastern factions along with most state institutions as the country fractured soon after the 2014 election, is meeting for the first time in years for the session in the frontline city of Sirte. The session is taking place in Sirte's Ouagadougou Conference Centre, built by its late leader Muammar Gaddafi as a glossy gift to his hometown but damaged in fighting after his downfall and used by Daesh when it ruled the city in 2015.
