The 100 Cities for Peace Organization has included the city of Benghazi among the list of the most important cities that call for a culture of peace, in appreciation of its role in combating illegal immigration.
Foreign Minister Plenipotentiary Abdul Hadi Al-Hawaij received a letter from the organization’s director, Pablo Marquette Bonnell, announcing that Benghazi had been chosen as a city of peace for its role in working in the field of human rights and preventing the flow of migration across the Mediterranean, according to a statement issued by the Libyan government.
The director of the international organization stressed that Benghazi is a model to be emulated in this field worldwide.
This selection was the culmination of the efforts of the General Command and the Libyan government to establish security and stability and launch reconstruction and development in an investment environment attractive to all international companies, according to the government statement.
