Libya: Kadhafi receives Guinea Bissau's President

The Libyan leader and chair of the African Union (AU), Mouammar Kadhafi, on Thursday received the President of Guinea Bissau, Malam Bacai Sanha, who arrived in Tripoli from the Italian capital city of Rome.

According to an official source, Kadhafi and Sanha discussed AU issues, including the implementation of decisions to transform the AU from a Commission into an Authority.

The Libyan leader had earlier met with experts and legal consultants of the AU Commission in charge of developing enforceable conceptions, working plans and decisions to be presented at the upcoming AU summit slated for January 2010 in Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.

The transformation of AU from a commission into an authority, with more emphasis on issues of common defence, foreign policy and foreign trade is one of the major decisions taken at the last AU summit held July in Syrte, central Libya.
