NEW YORK, Jan 18 (KUNA) -- Kuwait, in its first meeting in the Security Council to discuss the situation in Libya, reiterated its full and firm commitment to support all United Nations efforts aimed at ending the crisis in Libya, especially the plan of action for that country.
This came in a speech delivered by the Permanent Representative of Kuwait to the United Nations Ambassador Mansour Al-Otaibi during a session of the UN Security Council to discuss the situation in Libya last night.
He said that a plan of action for Libya aims to amend the Libyan political agreement, organize a national conference, prepare for the elections and provide humanitarian assistance to the needy during this critical phase in the history of Libya.
Al-Otaibi expressed appreciation for the strenuous efforts made by the Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman as part of his visit to Libya last week to consolidate the democratic transition process in Libya.
Four months after the Secretary-General presented the plan of action, encouraging signs and important steps began to emerge in the framework of activating the Libyan political process, he added, hailing at the same time efforts of Special Representative for Libya Ghassan Salama, which reflected the progress that has taken place recently.
He said that Kuwait will spare no effort to ensure the unity of the Council in deterring everything that would disturb the unity of the Libyan people towards the achievement of security and moral stability under the political agreement, expressing belief that this is the best way towards achieving a comprehensive political solution led by a Libyan leadership.
In this context, he stressed the need for all Libyans to comply with the provisions of paragraph 5 of Security Council resolution 2259 (2015), which affirms the rejection of all attempts aimed at undermining the political process led by Libya and facilitated by the United Nations.
Al-Otaibi welcomed the important role played by the Presidential Council of the National Reconciliation Government as well as the role of all Libyan leaders in promoting national reconciliation.(end).
