Italy is entering "a new era" of relations with Libya and is focussing on continually improving security conditions in the war-ravaged country and on landmark polls scheduled for late December, Italy's foreign minister Luigi Di Maio said on Wednesday.
"We can finally confirm that we are looking at a new era in relations between Italy and Libya," Di Maio told lawmakers.
"We are keeping focussed on consolidating security conditions on the ground and on the holding of elections slated according to the peace process for 24 December," Di Maio said.
