    President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah held talks on Monday with the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi on the situation in Sierra Leone, news organisations reported state media as saying. Sierra Leonean presidential spokesman Septimus Kaikai told IRIN that the two leaders were possibly “looking towards the future for Sierra Leone and discussing ways of helping to reconstruct the country”. Similarly, Kaikai said, on a recent trip to China, Kabbah visited the Ministry of Agriculture to see how existing resources in Sierra Leone could be used to achieve “sustainable development” including the possibility of cultivating rice two or three times a year. Kabbah is due to return to Sierra Leone on Tuesday, Kaikai said.
