Presidential Council deputy Abdullah Al-Lafi visited the American Institute of Peace in Washington, DC.
The media office of the Council stated that the visit came in response to the institute’s invitation to speak before a group of representatives of American research centers about the national reconciliation project that is supervised by the Presidential Council, as part of its efforts to support political, social and security stability in Libya.
During his meeting with a number of political and academic elites, Al-Lafi discussed the steps that can support the political process by restoring confidence among the Libyans to move forward towards the elections. He also gave a glimpse of the level of consensus reached by the Libyans after a decade of division and armed conflicts.
On the sidelines of his visit to Washington, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Al-Lafi also met with Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for North African Affairs Josh Harris, senior advisers to the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, officials of the National Security Council at the White House, as well as Lise Grandi, President of the American Institute of Peace.
The meetings discussed issues related to building peace in Libya, the support mechanisms required for the Libyan people, and their political leaders in achieving stability and the aspirations of the Libyan people for a stable, secure, and sovereign state.
