TRIPOLI, May 23 (Xinhua) -- Libya's Foreign Minister Najla al-Mangoush on Sunday met with visiting Qatari counterpart Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani to discuss ways to boost mutual cooperation.

"I called for forming joint commissions to review, update, study, and activate those agreements to suit the current situation and to serve the interests of the two peoples," Al-Mangoush told a press conference following the meeting.

Al-Mangoush praised Qatar's support to the Libyan government and the Libyan political dialogue.

"During the talks, we stressed the importance of benefiting from the experience of the State of Qatar to support the efforts of the Government of National Unity in various fields of development and building," she said.

Al-Mangoush also commended the Qatari role in solving the Gulf crisis, mediation between some Arab countries and Turkey, and contribution with Kuwait in solving the crisis with Iran.

"It has been agreed to form work teams to evaluate agreements between the two countries, and consider supporting and cooperating with Libya," al-Thani said.

He stressed Qatar's support for the Libyan political process led by the United Nations "as long as it preserves the unity of the Libyan soil away from foreign interference."

The UN-sponsored Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) has recently selected a new executive authority of a unity government and a presidency council, of which the main task is to prepare for the national elections on Dec. 24. Enditem
