The Chief of General Staff of the Libyan Army, Lieutenant General Muhammad Al-Haddad, reaffirmed his support for steps that would preserve Libya’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity.
This came during his first meeting with the new UN envoy, Hanna Tetteh, on Wednesday at the General Staff headquarters in the capital, Tripoli, according to a post on the General Staff’s Facebook page.
According to the statement, Al-Haddad welcomed the UN envoy, wishing her success in her mission while also praising the efforts of previous UN envoys in supporting the political process in Libya.
The statement cited Tetteh as commending “the efforts of the Chief of General Staff in resolving disputes to achieve stability and peace,” expressing her hope that the United Nations would play a positive role in supporting Libya and assisting the Libyan people in achieving their aspirations for stability and development.
Since her arrival in Tripoli to begin her duties, Tetteh has held several meetings with Libyan officials and foreign diplomats to review the latest developments in the Libyan crisis, while the UN mission is preparing to facilitate a national dialogue for various Libyan parties and key stakeholders.
