The Arab Parliament has awarded the Medal of Excellence to Ageela Saleh, the Speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives. This prestigious medal is granted to parliamentary leaders and ministers who have significantly contributed to their national parliaments and Arab parliamentary diplomacy.
The award was presented during the fourth plenary session of the Arab Parliament’s fourth session of the third legislative term, chaired by Adel bin Abdulrahman Al-Asoumi, at the headquarters of the General Secretariat of the Arab League in Cairo.
In his speech during the ceremony, the President of the Arab Parliament highlighted that the honor bestowed upon Ageela Saleh is in recognition of his pioneering role in promoting Arab parliamentary work and his steadfast support for Arab causes in various regional and international forums.
He commended Saleh’s dedication to serving his country and his wise leadership of the Libyan House of Representatives during a critical and challenging period for Libya, which requires the effort and devotion of its loyal and faithful citizens.
Al-Asoumi praised Saleh’s extensive parliamentary experience and his remarkable achievements at national, Arab, and international levels, noting that his contributions significantly enhance Arab parliamentary diplomacy and add value to joint Arab efforts, particularly in the parliamentary sphere.
The President of the Arab Parliament congratulated Ageela Saleh on this well-deserved recognition and expressed his best wishes for his continued success in his distinguished career filled with numerous achievements. He also prayed for peace, stability, and the fulfillment of the Libyan people’s aspirations for development and prosperity.
Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.
Libya’s economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya’s economy.
The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.
