In a significant development, the Speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives (HoR), Ageela Saleh, met with Hatem Al-Araibi, the Head of the Reconstruction and Stability Committee.
The meeting focused on the committee’s action plan, in line with the decisions of the HoR. The plan covers areas from Benghazi to Sirte, including the southeastern and southern regions.
The discussion also revolved around implementing the HoR’s decision to allocate funds for the reconstruction of the western region. Moreover, the meeting emphasised the importance of channeling these efforts through official avenues, particularly the municipalities.
Saleh stressed the need to begin identifying targeted projects according to priorities, in coordination with the Libyan government. This approach ensures that all municipalities under the Libyan government’s jurisdiction benefit from the services promptly.
Additionally, the committee head briefed Saleh on the committee’s work reports for 2023 and the planned activities for the first half of 2024.
This meeting marks a crucial step towards reconstructing and stabilising various regions of Libya, with a focus on efficient and coordinated efforts involving the government and local municipalities.
Earlier this month, Saleh announced that the development wheel in Libya has begun to turn urgently and earnestly. In his address at the inauguration of the new Benghazi bridges, Saleh stated that the construction of bridges will ease congestion and facilitate movement within the city. He emphasised that these accomplishments are a testament to the significant impact of developmental tasks on improving life in Libya.
Saleh added that Libya, being a country of security and stability, invites everyone to participate in its development. He urged Libyan citizens to preserve the completed projects, emphasising the country’s commitment to swift and serious developmental progress.
In his speech, Saleh also commended Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi for his support of the Libyan people. He extended gratitude to the Egyptian companies that have completed their tasks according to international standards and saluted the Egyptian people.
Saleh affirmed the HoR’s support for stability and reconstruction projects in Libya. He pledged to stand united in supporting these tremendous efforts, underscoring the parliament’s commitment to backing Libya’s developmental and reconstruction projects.
