The United States said, via its embassy in Libya on Twitter on Monday, that it strongly supports the independence and integrity of the Libyan sovereign institutions, the Central Bank of Libya (CBL) and the National Oil corporation (NOC) and Libyan Investment Authority (LIA), which are apolitical and work in the interests of all Libyans.
This support by the US came to reiterate the support of the United Nations, which was renewed by the UN Secretary General’s Advisor on Libya, Stephanie Williams, who said on Twitter that the independence and integrity of the National Oil Corporation, the Libyan Investment Authority, and the Central Bank of Libya must be shielded from political perturbations.
“These sovereign institutions belong first and foremost to the Libyan people and should not be subjected to arbitrary pressures or weaponized for the benefit of one party or another.” Williams said, adding that transparent management and distribution of the wealth of the Libyan people should be a shared objective.
