Premier Zeidan congratulates the first of the Libyan police graduates<\/p>\n
Tripoli, 19 February 2013:<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Ali Zeidan was in Istanbul today, Tuesday, to hand out diplomas to new Libyan police graduates who have successfully completed their training in Turkey.<\/p>\n
The award-ceremony was for 817 police graduates, who have completed seven and a half months\u2019 training at the Adile Sadullah Mermerci Police Training Centre in Istanbul.<\/p>\n
Zeidan thanked the Turkish authorities for the police training programme, which was part of a Memorandum of Understanding signed between Libya and Turkey. He spoke of the long-term cooperation between the two countries and stressed how important continued good relations with Turkey were for the new Libya.<\/p>\n
Zeidan\u2019s visit to Turkey appears to be part of intensified efforts to resolve economic relations between the two countries. It has been estimated that Turkish firms are owed some $20 million in back payments and compensation.<\/p>\n
More new Libyan police recruits are also being trained in Qatar, the UAE, Jordan and the UK.<\/p>\n
