Belarusian leader meets Libya's Qaddafi in Minsk

MINSK, November 3 (RIA Novosti) - Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko will hold talks with Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi in Minsk on Monday.

Lukashenko greeted the Libyan leader on his arrival in the country on Sunday. The Belarusian president's press service said the leaders would discuss a range of bilateral and international issues, but did not give specifics.

Qaddafi traveled to Belarus after concluding his first visit to Russia since the break-up of the Soviet Union.

Qaddafi met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Saturday. He was widely expected to discuss arms deals, but almost no details of the discussions were released.

The meeting with Putin took place in a Bedouin tent pitched for Qaddafi in the Kremlin Palace gardens.
