The UAE on Wednesday congratulated Libya, its government and people, for the decision taken by the parliament to grant confidence to the Government of National Unity, headed by Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh.
On Wednesday, Libya’s long-divided parliament approved an interim government mandated to bring the fractured country together after a decade of chaos and violence, and to oversee elections in December as part of a UN-backed peace plan.
The parliament’s approval of Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibeh’s cabinet represents the biggest opportunity in years for a resolution to Libya’s conflict.
“Through this vote, it became clear that the Libyans are one unit,” Dbeibeh told parliament afterwards.
The UAE also congratulated President of the Presidency Council Dr Muhammad Yunus Al Manfi, his two deputies, the Prime Minister and all other ministers, and wished them success in performing their duties and responsibilities to achieve the aspirations of the brotherly Libyan people.
The UAE also conveyed its congratulations and appreciation to the UN Secretary-General Special Envoy for Libya and the members of the United Nations Support Mission for Libya (UNSMIL), who contributed to this historic achievement, and affirmed its full support for the remaining tracks under the supervision of the United Nations Mission to complete the roadmap.
