BRUSSELS, 01 November 2023 / PRN Africa / -- In the wake of the disaster that hit eastern Libya, ordinary Libyans across the country have shown the way for unity, solidarity and compassion.
Recalling UNSC Resolution 2702/2023, we renew our call to the Libyan stakeholders for a coordinated national platform, supported by UNSMIL, to release funds for the long term reconstruction efforts, and for the reconstruction to be managed and distributed transparently, with effective oversight and accountability to the Libyan people.
In this spirit, we are only considering participating as observers at technical level to the Benghazi conference. Our attendance will not constitute an endorsement of any unilateral reconstruction initiatives, or of the status of any Libyan participants.
