Libya's deputy foreign minister Abdul- Atti Al-Ubaidi crossed on Sunday from the Libyan borders on his way to Tunisia, Tunisia's state-run TAP news agency reported.

The agency said the visit by Al-Ubaidi, who is responsible for European Affairs, was not official and "it did not come in the frame of the contacts conducting with Tunisian authorities."

TAP said Al-Ubaidi was heading to the Djerba airport, but did not disclose where he is flying to.
