“Libya’s unity government is strongly committed to the country’s sovereignty, independence, regional security, and national unity,” Libyan foreign minister Najla al-Mangoush told a news conference. “Strongly rejects foreign interference in Libyan affairs and denounces attempts to violate the arms embargo and create chaos. It is essential to take the necessary steps to build trust and create an appropriate environment to hold national elections honestly and transparently.”
