欧美文化:UN reiterates support for upcoming elections in Libya

TRIPOLI, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- Assistant Secretary-General and Coordinator of the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) Raisedon Zenenga on Sunday reiterated his support for the upcoming elections in Libya.

Zenenga made his remarks during a virtual consultation with a diverse group of civil society representatives from all parts of Libya.

"Participants shared their views on elections, with a common message that the goal for the elections should be to deliver stability and to enable the country to go out of recurrent political crises," the UNSMIL said in a post on Twitter.

Zenenga welcomed the engagement of participants with the UNSMIL and underscored the important role of the civil society in contributing to a stable, peaceful and democratic Libya.

"He reiterated UNSMIL's commitment to supporting Libyans in achieving elections that are timely, credible and inclusive, in line with the Libyan political road map and relevant UN Security Council resolutions, and which will yield stability for Libya," UNSMIL said.

The UN-sponsored Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) in February selected a new executive authority of a unity government and a presidency council, ending years of political division in the North African country.

The new authority's main task is to prepare for the general elections to be held on Dec. 24, as endorsed by the LPDF.
