In the statement made by the Presidency of Tunisia, it was stated that Lamamra and Menkuş met with Tunisian President Kays Said.

During the meeting, Said emphasized that it is important to continue working towards an urgent solution to the Libyan crisis that will ensure the territorial integrity, sovereignty and stability of this country.
