US Chargé d’Affaires, Jeremy Berndt met with Adel Juma, Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs, and Ibrahim Dabaiba, Advisor to the Prime Minister, at his residence in Tunis on Wednesday.
"We discussed the ongoing crisis regarding the Central Bank of Libya and the urgent need for a consensus-based resolution through UNSMIL's mediation, as well as the legitimate concerns of many Libyans about oil field shutdowns that affect resources belonging to the whole Libyan people." Berndt said in an X post on US embassy's account.
The embassy added that the technocratic integrity, credibility, and legitimacy of key economic institutions is essential to Libya’s prosperity and stability.
"For long-term stability and development, stakeholders must also agree on transparent and accountable distribution of oil revenues to benefit all parts of Libya." It added.
Berndt said he had appreciated the opportunity to exchange views on ways to strengthen the partnership between Libya and the United States during the meeting.
