Tunis, Sept 15 (KUNA) -- The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) expressed its welcome on Tuesday for the House of Representatives’ endorsement of the Mini-Summit Agreement signed on August 30, considering it a contribution to progress along the UN-backed roadmap to resolve Libya’s political crisis. In a statement, the mission noted that the approval of 103 members of parliament represents significant support and an important step forward in a consensus-driven process leading to national elections, reflecting broad backing for the Mini-Summit Agreement. UNSMIL emphasized that the Mini-Summit constitutes a key element of the broader UN-facilitated political roadmap, and that its success in addressing the first two essential steps of the political process contributes to supporting efforts to overcome the current political deadlock. The mission reaffirmed its commitment to supporting and facilitating a Libyan-led and Libyan-owned political process to end the political stalemate, unify national institutions, enhance their performance, and create favorable conditions for holding comprehensive and credible parliamentary and presidential elections that meet the aspirations of the Libyan people.
