Vice President of the Presidential Council (PC), Moussa Al-Koni, met with UK Ambassador Martin Longden on Monday to discuss recent developments in southern Libya.
The meeting, held in Tripoli, followed Longden’s visit to the city of Sabha, where he engaged with local officials and residents about the ongoing challenges in the region.
Al-Koni welcomed the ambassador’s attention to Libya, emphasizing the strategic importance of southern Libya as a key region rich in resources.
He advocated for a shift towards a governorate system, arguing that it would enable a more equitable distribution of resources, reduce corruption, and streamline the delivery of services to citizens, thereby easing the burden on the central government.
The discussions also covered broader political developments in Libya, with a focus on issues such as illegal immigration and its effects on both Libya and the wider Mediterranean region.
