Upon his arrival in Moscow, Haftar was received by Russian Deputy Defence Minister Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, his Libyan Arab Armed Forces said, the AFP reported.
“The development of the situation in Libya, bilateral relations and ways of developing them, and issues of common interest” were on the agenda for Haftar’s visit, the LAAF said on its Facebook page.
Yevkurov has visited eastern Libya several times to meet Haftar.
Their last meeting took place on September 17 at the LAAF headquarters in Benghazi, a few days after floods that left thousands dead and missing in eastern Libya.
Russia has over the past several years strengthened its presence in Africa, vowing to intensify grain exports, weapons deliveries and energy cooperation.
