The U.S. Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, welcomed on Sunday the appointment of new Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of the U.N. Mission in Libya, Abdoulaye Bathily.
“We support his efforts to mediate an agreement to establish a constitutional framework and timeline for elections in Libya,” stated Blinken via Twitter.
The Security Council on Friday approved former Senegalese minister and U.N. diplomat Abdoulaye Bathily as the new U.N. envoy to Libya, ending a nine-month vacancy.
