General Mustapha Kharroubi, member of the historic command of the Libyan revolution, met Nujoma on arrival at Maatigua airport. The president was immediately driven to Col. Muammar Kadhafi's Tripoli residence where he had a first meeting with the Libyan leader focussed, according to official sources, on African current events and on strengthening bilateral relations between Libya and Namibia. The Libyan television announced that during the discussions, Nujoma stressed the importance of African unity, as recognised by the proclamation of the African Union, which should enable the continent to better face up to the exigencies of globalisation. Nujoma also reaffirmed his country's total support to the Libyan Jamahirya in the Lockerbie affair and reiterated Namibia's appeal for the definitive lifting of the embargo imposed on Tripoli. According to the local press, the Namibian leader has called for the release of the Libyan national convicted of bombing a Pan American jetliner over Lockerbie, Scotland now considered by Tripoli as hostage of a political trial. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright © 2001 Panafrican News Agency.
