On Saturday, Libya’s Acting Minister of Defense, Ahmed Houma, arrived in Algiers, accompanied by a delegation from the Libyan House of Representatives, to participate in the 38th Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union Conference, taking place over two days in the Algerian capital.
The Libyan delegation is led by Fawzi Al-Nuwairi, First Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, and includes members of parliament Salehin Abdelnabi, Hassan Al-Barghathi, and Aisha Shalabi, in addition to the Chief of the Parliament’s Office, Abdullah Al-Masri Al-Fadil.
Upon arrival at Houari Boumediene International Airport, the delegation was received by Rachid Zein, Vice President of the Algerian People’s National Assembly, and Saleh Hemma, Libya’s Ambassador to Algeria.
According to a statement issued by the Libyan Ministry of Defense, the delegation’s participation reflects Libya’s commitment to enhancing Arab parliamentary cooperation and engaging in regional dialogue on common political, economic, and legislative issues.
A key highlight of the event will be the honoring of Houma with the Arab Parliamentary Excellence Award, a distinction granted by the Arab Inter-Parliamentary Union. The award recognizes the Libyan Minister’s contributions during his time as Second Deputy Speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives, particularly in advancing parliamentary diplomacy and national dialogue during Libya’s complex political transition.
The 38th conference brings together parliamentary delegations from across the Arab world to discuss ways to strengthen legislative integration, coordinate responses to regional challenges, and reaffirm the role of Arab parliaments in promoting stability and cooperation.
