TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Libya's new premier said on Monday his government will focus on fighting militants, securing borders and strengthening the military with the help of the international community to stabilise the OPEC oil-producing country.

Prime Minister Ahmed Maiteeq, whose government was approved by parliament on Sunday, told Reuters he wanted to continue with a deal to end an oil port occupation by former rebels. But he said he would keep negotiating if the accord to free up the four oil terminals collapsed.
