We welcome the designation of the President and members of the Presidency Council and the Prime Minister who will serve until the general elections that are scheduled to be held on 24 December 2021 in Libya, as a result of the elections held in the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF). We hope that the new Government of National Unity will be formed and assume office as soon as possible on the basis of the Road Map adopted by the LPDF.

This democratic step taken by our Libyan brothers and sisters on the basis of dialogue and national reconciliation, constitutes a significant opportunity for preserving Libya’s sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity as well as securing the political unity of the country.

Turkey, rejecting the military methods all along, reckons that this time the international community will not allow those who may try to spoil this historic opportunity for a lasting political solution in Libya.

We will continue to extend our full support to the new executive authority for providing public services needed by the friendly and brotherly people of Libya, for ensuring security, normalizing daily life and for organizing the holding of elections as planned for the end of this year.
