Libya News and Views Friday, 17 August, 2001: Libyan leader Mu'ammar al-Qadhafi will pay his first official visit to a former Soviet republic later this month when he flies to Belarus for talks with President Alexander Lukashenko, the Belarus foreign ministry announced Thursday. Qadhafi is paying a return visit to the Belarus capital after Lukashenko's visit to Tripoli in October last year, the ministry said, without providing specific dates for the Minsk summit. Lukashenko, who is seeking re-election next month, earlier this year announced that Libya was ready to extend some 100 million dollars in financing to help Belarus stabilize its currency.
