Spain's prime minister was in the Libyan capital of Tripoli on Thursday to reopen his country's embassy. Premier Pedro Sánchez held talks with his Libyan counterpart, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, who was elected in February along with a four-member presidential council.

Both Spanish and Libyan premiers said they had signed several memorandums of understanding to boost economic cooperation in various sectors such as health, infrastructure, agriculture, education, livestock and renewable energy.
