The two parties have settled on $35 million in final compensation for the victims legally represented in Germany who sustained damages in the attack on the La Belle discotheque in Berlin on April 5, 1986. The Libyan side has promised to effect prompt payment of the compensation, making possible further expansion and strengthening of German-Libyan relations. High-level political visits by both sides will be an expression of the intensification of bilateral relations which has now become possible. The Chancellor has received a written invitation from Libyan revolutionary leader Gaddafi which he has accepted. With the agreement reached today, nothing stands in the way of the Chancellor visiting Libya soon.
