Foreign Minster of Iran Ali Akbar Salehi has arrived in Libyan capital today, IRNA reported.

In Libya, Salehi plans to hold a dialogue with members of the National Transitional Council about various issues.

Iran says investigating the fate of Shia Lebanese cleric Imam Mousa Sadr in Libya is Tehran's top agenda.

Earlier, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, Chairman of Iran's parliamentary Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy said that some Iranian MPs want to visit to Libya to discuss the fate of Sadr.

Sadr, the founder of Lebanon's Amal Movement, was a popular and highly revered Lebanese Shia cleric of Iranian descent, who was kidnapped along with two of his companions, Mohammed Yaqoub and Abbas Badreddin, while on an official visit to Libya on August 31, 1978.

The Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee set up a sub-committee, headed by Javad Karim Qoddousi, to investigate Sadr's fate.

Late September, Qoddousi announced that the sub-committee would officially travel to Libya after normalcy is restored in the country to follow on the missing cleric's case.
