The Chargé d’Affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Libya, Liu Jian, reiterated China’s commitment to enhancing its strategic partnership with Libya, emphasizing Beijing’s readiness to expand practical cooperation across various sectors.
In a statement reported by the Libyan News Agency (LANA), Liu expressed China’s willingness to deepen bilateral relations and broaden avenues of collaboration between the two nations.
He also voiced hope that Libya would soon enjoy peace and stability, underscoring China’s support for a political settlement that fulfills the aspirations of the Libyan people. “We hope Libya moves forward on the path of political resolution to meet the expectations of its citizens,” he stated.
The Chinese diplomat extended his best wishes to the Libyan people for continued prosperity, development, and well-being.
This renewed commitment comes amid growing calls for international support for Libya’s transition. On May 15th, China’s representative to the United Nations stressed the importance of the International Criminal Court (ICC) strengthening its cooperation with Libya. He also urged the Court to maintain its principle of complementarity while fully respecting Libya’s independence and national sovereignty.
The Chinese envoy added that Libya’s internal capacity to build and reform its judicial institutions must be considered and supported, particularly in light of the slow progress in the country’s political process.
