Taher Al-Baour, Libya’s Acting Foreign Minister, received Jean-Claude Gakosso, the Congolese Foreign Minister.
The meeting covered various issues related to the prominent and serious role of the African Union (AU), in resolving the Libyan crisis.
The agenda included national reconciliation, and the role played by Congo, under President Denis Sassou Nguesso, who is Head of the African Union Commission regarding the Libyan crisis.
During the meeting, a handwritten letter from the President of Congo to Prime Minister, Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba was delivered.
The discussion also focused on the restoration of Libya’s active and vital role on the continent, reinstating its previous position in addressing the issues and crises of AU member states.
According to the statement, Libya aims to contribute to solving regional and international problems effectively. Additionally, several other important issues were addressed during the meeting.
Last month, the Head of the Presidential Council, Mohamed Al-Mnifi hosted a crucial meeting with Gakosso, and the African Union’s advisor for national reconciliation, Mohamed Hassan El-Labbad in Tripoli.
During this high-profile meeting, the delegation briefed Al-Mnifi on the outcomes of the preparatory committee’s session for the reconciliation conference, recently held in Sebha. The delegation expressed their gratitude to the President for his pivotal role in facilitating unresolved issues, and contributing effectively to the reconciliation process.
Al-Mnifi lauded the African Union’s significant role in supporting the Libyan reconciliation project. He reaffirmed his ongoing support for efforts aimed at achieving a comprehensive reconciliation, which involves all parties.
This meeting underscores the Libyan government’s commitment to fostering national unity and reconciliation, with a focus on collaboration with regional partners and organisations. The involvement of high-level officials from the African Union, further highlights the continental commitment to ensuring peace and stability in Libya.
As Libya continues its journey towards national reconciliation and unity, such meetings play a crucial role in building consensus, and understanding among diverse Libyan factions and their international partners. The Presidential Council’s dedication to these goals is expected to pave the way for a more stable, and united future for the country.
