The leader of Libya's proposed new Government of National Accord (GNA) made his first visit to Europe on Monday, holding talks with Italy's Premier Matteo Renzi.
Businessman Fayez el-Sarraj has been designated as the head of a 17-member transitional Libyan government which is scheduled to take office in mid-January.
A statement issued by Renzi's office said Renzi had:
"expressed his full confidence in the capacity of the new Libyan authorities to meet the pressing challenges awaiting them, starting with the formation of a government and the construction of an institutional framework based on inclusion and national reconciliation."
