BENGHAZI (Sputnik) - Libya is run by two rival governments – a UN-recognized administration in Tripoli led by Abdul Hamid Dbeibah and the eastern-based government in Benghazi led by Osama Hammad.
Libya is ready to cooperate with Russian companies in the reconstruction of the North African country, the Libyan public works minister in the parliament-backed eastern government, Nasr Sharh El-Bal Al-Obaidi, told Sputnik on Wednesday.
"We have no objections to cooperation with Russian companies in projects to restore Libya. We also have no objections to visits to Russia if official invitations are received," Al-Obaidi said.

Possible Joining BRICS to Open Up Grand Economic Prospects for Libya, Investment Minister Says
Libya ceased to function as a single state after its leader, Muammar Gaddafi, was overthrown and killed in 2011. In recent years, there has been a standoff between the authorities in Tripoli in the west of the country and the authorities in the east, which were supported by the Libyan National Army under the command of Marshal Khalifa Haftar. In 2021, the UN-sponsored Libyan Political Dialogue Forum in Geneva elected a transitional executive authority to run the country until a general election, which was scheduled for December 2021 but was never held.
