UN adviser stresses support for reconciliation in Libya

The Adviser to the United Nations (UN) Secretary-General for Libya, Stephanie Williams, on Monday stressed the UN support for the reconciliation in Libya.

Williams made her remarks during a meeting with Mohamed Menfi, president of the Libyan Presidential Council, and Abdullah Allafi, deputy president of the council, on the latest developments in the region.

"We took note of the spirit of consensus exhibited by the HoR (House of Representatives) and HCS (High Council of State) and emphasized the importance of maintaining calm," the adviser tweeted.

The three reviewed the presidential council's efforts to activate the national reconciliation file, particularly the formation of specific committees and the redraft of the necessary legislation.

"I offered continued UN support for this vital national project," Williams said.

Libyan House of Representatives recently approved two votes to adopt a constitutional amendment and designate a new prime minister.
