The Libyan-Russian Communication Committee of the High Council of State held its first meeting on December 19, 2023, where a briefing was given on the visit of the Council’s delegation to Russia and the development of the terms of the committee’s internal work system and mechanisms for communicating with the competent authorities in accordance with the tasks entrusted to the committee.
It is noteworthy that the formation of the joint committee comes in accordance with a proposal submitted by the head of the High Council of State in Libya, Mohamed Tekala, to the head of the Russian State Duma in Moscow, Vyacheslav Volodin, who in turn approved it and stressed the need to search for new and more effective forms of cooperation, according to the State Duma.
For his part, the official spokesman for the Libyan House of Representatives, Abdullah Belhaq, announced in a post on the “Facebook” platform, that the Russian ambassador to Libya, Idar Aganin, handed the speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives an official invitation to visit the Russian capital, Moscow.
According to the statement, the official invitation from the State Duma comes after the two parties, at the office of Aguila Saleh in the city of Qubba, discussed the issue of the resignation of the UN envoy to Libya, Abdullah Bathili.
The statement added that the meeting dealt with the latest developments in Libya and ways to end the crisis, where Aguila Saleh stressed that “the solution in Libya is to hold presidential and parliamentary elections, which require the presence of a unified government throughout Libya.”
A statement by the Russian embassy on Facebook said that the meeting with Saleh “witnessed a detailed exchange of views on the political process in Libya,” including in the context of the resignation of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Abdullah Bathili, in addition to discussing issues related to the intensification of “parliamentary cooperation” between Russia and Libya.
