Putin - in a meeting with the Chairman of the Presidential Council of Libya Manfi: Despite the difficult situation in politics and the international economy, mutual trade continues to develop. In April, the first meeting of the co-chairs of the joint intergovernmental commission was held in Moscow. We are of course interested in a quick renewal of its full activity. Manpower training for the Libyan state continues on the basis of local universities. This year we increased the number of budget places for your students to 100 units. In total there are one and a half thousand students from Libya in Russian universities. In 2025–2026, 25 diplomats from Tripoli and Benghazi completed advanced training courses at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
