Williams: Meetings of 'Saleh" & 'Al Mashri' aim to discuss Libya's constitutional document

CAIRO - 29 June 2022: The Special Adviser to the Secretary-General of the United Nations on Libya, Stephanie Williams, confirmed that the meetings with the Speaker of Parliament, Aguila Saleh, and the State, Khaled al Mashri, aim to put the final touches and discuss the measures for the constitutional document, the Libyan News Agency (LNA) reported Monday.

Williams said, in press statements, that talk here is about transitional measures and elections, because during 23 days of discussions in Cairo, the meeting was able, commendably, to settle a number of controversial issues in the constitutional document.

She pointed out that the file of the exit of mercenaries and foreign forces from Libya will remain subject to the formation of an elected and representative Libyan government for all Libyans.

Williams continued in her statements that the members of the Military Committee (5 + 5) discussed this issue early and directly with the countries concerned, traveled to Ankara and Moscow, and met in Cairo with neighboring countries to the south, such as Sudan, Niger and Chad.

She added that the members of the (5+) committee have engaged extensively with the international community to push forward towards solving this problem, and have also sent a direct message to the political class in Libya that the longer the political division and conflict between representatives of the executive authority, the more difficult it will be for them to work
