Relationship context
Overview
Republic of the Congo’s President Denis Sassou Nguesso chaired the African Union High-Level Committee on Libya during the 2011 Libyan crisis, placing Congolese diplomacy in a direct mediation role.

Key developments

- Details of Libyan government cooperation with the Republic of the Congo are limited.
