Libya shall be officially asking Maghreb countries to support Malta's bid to host the secretariat of the new Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly, European and Foreign Affairs Committee chairman Jason Azzopardi said yesterday.

Giving the committee an overview of a visit to Libya last weekend, Dr Azzopardi said that soon after the committee returned from its recent visit to Libya, he was invited by the Libyan secretary for international affairs to return to Libya and discuss with him Libya's role in international fora, especially in the Euromed process.

Dr Azzopardi said he explained why Malta was a constant believer that Libya should participate in the Mediterranean Parliamentary Assembly.

He explained that it would be beneficial for the whole region for Libya to find its place in this assembly. He said Libya was calling for the Palestinians to also be represented in the assembly.
