Russia offered on Wednesday to help Libya in its pursuit of nuclear energy and announced a visit to the former pariah state this weekend by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, a report said. "We are ready to help Libya realise its enduring right to attain civilian nuclear (energy)," foreign ministry spokesman Mikhail Kamynin said.
Kamynin said Lavrov would visit Libya for two days from Sunday and would meet his Libyan counterpart Abdelrahaman Shalgham for discussions on a range of issues. "There will be an exchange of opinions on topical international and regional matters based on a joint working relationship at the heart of the UN," the spokesman said. "We salute the participation of Libya in the work of the UN Security Council" where it brings "a contribution to the reinforcement of the non-proliferation regime and the maintenance of peace in Africa," Kamynin said.
"We are ready to cooperate tightly with Libya at the heart of the UN Security Council, bearing in mind our shared policies towards a majority of international problems," the spokesman added.
