Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte has disclosed a meeting between the Presidential Council's (PC) head Fayez Al-Sarraj and commander of the so-called Dignity Operation Khalifa Haftar in Rome.

Conte clarified that the meeting is to be held next week in Rome, adding that the step is part of Italy's efforts to reach a solution to the Libyan crisis.

Conte's comments came after news circulated by foreign media outlets that Sarraj has made an invitation to Haftar to visit Tripoli amid heightened security reinforcements.
