TRIPOLI, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- Libyan Prime Minister Fayez al-Serraj and the Director General of the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development Abdlatif al-Hamad have held consultations on rebuilding war-torn Libya, authorities said Tuesday.

"Fayez Serraj, during his recent visit to Kuwait, met with the Director of the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, Dr. Abdlatif al-Hamad," Libyan Foreign Minister Mohamed Sayala told a press conference in Tripoli.

"Libya is preparing for rebuilding. The possibility of the fund's contribution to future reconstruction projects in Libya has been discussed. The fund has dealt with Libya previously, particularly with regard to the power sector," Sayala said.

The Libyan foreign minister also said that the officials have agreed to hold a meeting between Libyan experts and experts of the fund to develop the priorities and features of the cooperation for reconstructing Libya.

Libyan cities, mainly the capital Tripoli and the second-largest city Benghazi, have suffered a lot of destruction due to years of armed conflict.
