Libyan President Muammar al-Qaddafi called President Hosni Mubarak after the Egyptian leader's Thursday speech.
Qaddafi, who has been ruling Libya for nearly 40 years, supported Mubarak despite the continuing protests against his rule since 25 January, the Libyan News Agency reported Friday.
Qaddafi has also criticized the earlier ousting of Tunisian President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali.
The Libyan News Agency said that phone call focused on the developing events Egypt is witnessing in the wake of Mubarak's speech when Mubarak delegated some presidential powers to Vice President Omar Suleiman.
