The Acting Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, Stephanie Koury, revealed Thursday that she had received promises from the official authorities in the eastern region to open the oil fields and ports as soon as possible, calling on all parties to protect all resources and keep them away from political conflicts.
Koury stressed in her speech during the signing ceremony of an agreement to resolve the crisis of the Central Bank of Libya, in the presence of representatives of the House of Representatives and the High Council of State and diplomatic missions accredited to Libya, the urgent need to end the closure of oil fields and ports and the disruption of production and exports.
Koury expressed her thanks to all Libyan parties that contributed to the success of the agreement on the Central Bank of Libya, considering that this consensus focuses on procedures that ensure good governance and the independence of the Central Bank.
"We have followed in the past weeks how the conflict over the Central Bank of Libya has threatened the economic situation, the fragile security situation, and the living conditions of all Libyans," she said, noting that "today's outcomes are positive and promising, as they highlight the ability of the Libyan parties to overcome challenges when the national spirit prevails, and to put the interests of the Libyan people as a priority above all else."
Koury stressed that this agreement will lead to consultations between the House of Representatives and the High Council of State to appoint the bank's governor and his deputy within a week of signing this agreement, as well as appointing a board of directors within two weeks of appointing the governor.
