London, 23 April 2021:

UNSMIL head Jan Kubis concluded yesterday a visit to Bern, Switzerland where he met with Swiss officials to discuss ways to assist the Libyan people and authorities during the country’s transition to a democratic, stable, prosperous period that safeguards the unity and the sovereignty Libya, UNSMIL reported.

Kubis met in Bern with Mr. Ignazio Cassis, Federal Councillor accompanied by Ambassador Maya Tissafi, Head of the Middle East and North Africa Division, and Ambassador Simon Geissbühler, Head of the Peace and Human Rights Division, and discussed the latest developments in Libya and the region. They agreed on the need to step up support to the newly elected interim authority in Libya in order to enhance the provision of basic services to the Libyan people and urged all relevant Libyan authorities and institutions to prioritize the holding of national elections on 24 December 2021, including through the establishment of necessary constitutional basis and legal framework and increased engagement with the civil society.
