First Deputy Prime Minister of Libya’s Government of National Unity (GNU) Hussein al-Qatrani will pay a visit to Russia on January 18, Libya Al Ahrar TV said on Sunday, citing the politician. The Libyan government’s press service said earlier that al-Qatrani would visit Russia on January 16-20, but the visit was postponed. Al-Qatrani is expected to be accompanied by Oil and Gas Minister Mohamed Aoun, Health Minister Ali Al-Zanati and Minister of Planning Kamal al-Hassi. Apart from that, according to Libya Observer, a news portal, UN special envoy for Libya Stephanie Williams will visit Moscow on January 17 at the invitation of the Russian foreign ministry. However, the parliament disagreed with the proposed one-month delay "for security reasons," and the new date of the polls remains unknown to date.
