Turkey's prime minister has arrived in Tripoli, a day after the visit by British and French leaders in a show of international support for Libya's new rulers.

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan traveled to Libya as part of a tour of the Arab world that is aimed at offering help for the countries and advancing his growing status as a regional leader.

According to AP, he is expected to discuss how to resume investments in Libya, where Turkish contractors were involved in 214 building projects worth more than $15 billion before the rebellion that ousted strongman Moammar Gadhafi.
