Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi laid the foundation stone on Sunday for an ambitious highway stretching along the entire Libyan coast, an AFP correspondent said.
The 1,200 kilometre (750 mile) highway has long been demanded by Libya as compensation for Rome's occupation and colonial rule over the north African country from 1911 until World War II.
The foundation stone for the road, which will stretch from the Tunisian border in the west to the Egyptian frontier in the east, was laid at Touisha, about 50 kilometres (31 miles) east of Tripoli.
