The European Union’s (EU) ambassador to Libya, Nicola Orlando, revealed the most prominent discussion topics that focused on the consultative meeting called for by the Wilton Park Organization, affiliated with the British Foreign Office, in the past few days, noting that they reflected the growing momentum to support the efforts of the United Nations in Libya.
Orlando confirmed on X on Saturday that “the European Union has a strategic interest in a stable, unified and prosperous Libya, where all citizens can achieve their full potential and aspirations,” saying that the European Union contributed positively to the Wilton Park meeting, which was held during the period from December 3 to 5, and pushed for a constructive and coordinated international approach in Libya, as a major partner in the political, economic and security sectors.
He explained the most prominent discussion topics in the Wilton Park meeting, indicating that they focused on the political process led by the United Nations, in addition to the distribution of national wealth in Libya.
“The discussions reflected the growing momentum and shared optimism to support the renewed efforts made by the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, to lead an effective Libyan-led political process. A sense of urgency has emerged regarding the need to agree on a transparent and fair distribution of national wealth, to protect families and future generations.” He said.
Meanwhile, the Head of the Presidential Council, Mohammed Menfi, stressed that any international efforts that do not include Libyan institutions emanating from the political agreement will empty the results of their legitimacy and drift away from the possibility of implementation.
Menfi welcomed “every serious initiative within the framework of the constants specified in the Security Council resolution that enhance transparency and consensus, and pave the way for the electoral entitlement in 2025,” commenting in a post on X platform on Saturday on a meeting called for by the Wilton Park organization affiliated with the British Foreign Office regarding Libya, in which a number of Western diplomats participated in London.
