TRIPOLI, May 31 (Xinhua) -- Libyan UN-backed Prime Minister Fayez Serraj had a phone conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron to discuss the latest developments in Libya and bilateral cooperation, the media office of the Libyan prime minister said on Wednesday.
Macron reiterated his country's support for the government and keenness to achieve security and stability in Libya based on the political agreement.
The two leaders discussed programs to train the presidential guards, the coordination to build army and police forces and the security of Libyan land and sea borders.
Serraj stressed Libya's keenness to develop relations and cooperation with France, and expressed hope for the return of French embassy, companies and airlines to the capital Tripoli as soon as possible.
Macron announced the arrangement of an urgent visit of French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian to Tripoli.
Serraj's government of national accord was appointed based on a UN-sponsored peace agreement signed by the country's political rival parties in December 2015. However, Libya is still suffering insecurity and political division despite the agreement.
