ALGIERS, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune on Tuesday invited his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan to visit Algeria, the Presidency said in a statement.
The invitation was accepted and the date of this visit is yet to be determined in the coming days, the statement added.
The last visit to Algeria by Turkish President Erdogan was on February 26, 2018.
The invitation was handed over by Tebboune to the visiting Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu during a meeting they held in Algiers on Tuesday.
Tebboune and Cavusoglu agreed to boost bilateral cooperation.
The situation in Libya was also on the agenda of this meeting, as the two sides agreed on the need to avoid any violent action likely to aggravate the climate, and vowed to spare no effort aiming at reaching a cease-fire, the statement said.
The two sides also expressed their wish that the planned international conference on Libya due to be held in Germany would be the beginning of a comprehensive political settlement of the crisis.
Turkey has approved a bill on sending troops to Libya upon the request of the internationally recognized Government of National Accord based in Tripoli.
