Last month, Al-Lafi briefed Saleh on the proposal for the strategic vision of the National Reconciliation Project. This was launched in Tripoli on 23 June.
He stressed that the reconciliation project, “will address all important issues to end the transitional stages in the country, and reach the stage of permanent stability.”
“It is a national project owned by the Libyan people, and it is free from all restrictions and directives,” Al-Lafi said.
The launch of the project is one of the most important tasks of the Presidential Council.
