U.S. Special Envoy to Libya Ambassador Richard Norland on Tuesday congratulated Congolese President Sassou N’Guesso “for convening an important meeting of the African Union’s High-Level Panel on Libya in support of the political process and national reconciliation in Libya.”
“This event reinforces the efforts of UN envoy Abdoulaye Bathily to launch political negotiations with key stakeholders,” UN Embassy in Libya quoted Norland.
“The U.S. looks forward to the National Reconciliation Conference scheduled to take place April 28 in Sirte,” the Embassy said in a statement.
“National and local reconciliation remain a central focus for U.S. assistance under the U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and promote stability,” it added.
The meeting witnessed the participation of the Libyan Presidential Council President Mohammed al-Menfi and distinguished regional leaders.
