Gaddaffi off to Belarus

Minsk - Libyan leader Moamer Gaddaffi was to travel to Belarus on Sunday for talks with authoritarian president Alexander Lukashenko as part of a landmark ex-Soviet tour, Lukashenko's office said.

"On Monday the leaders of the two countries will hold talks in Minsk that are expected to lead to the signing of a number of bilateral agreements," the Belarus presidential administration said in a statement.

Gaddaffi was to travel to Minsk from Moscow, where he agreed a civil nuclear cooperation deal after talks he said could help restore "geopolitical equilibrium."

The Libyan leader, who has never travelled to Belarus before, was visiting Moscow for the first time since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
