Acting Charge d’Affaires hails Qatar’s continuous support for Libya

15 Dec 2020

Doha: Acting Charge d’Affaires at the Libyan Embassy in Doha Salem Mohamed Kareem has stressed the outstanding and strong Qatar-Libya relations, saying that both sides are constantly working to develop these relations, and that officials from the two countries exchange frequent visits with the aim of boosting future relations.

In remarks to Qatar News Agency (QNA) on the occasion of Qatar National Day, Salem Kareem extended congratulations to Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Government and the people of Qatar on the occasion of the Qatar National Day, wishing Qatar and its people progress, prosperity and continued growth and development despite the unjust blockade imposed on it by some of its neighbours, and maintaining its remarkable regional and international roles.

The Acting Charge d’Affaires at the Libyan embassy voiced appreciation to the State of Qatar’s support for his country, saying that Qatar was among the first countries that supported the Libyan revolution; provided aid to the Libyan people during its revolution against the former regime; supported the internationally recognised Government of National Accord; condemned the attack on the capital, Tripoli; demanded an end to the fighting and a return to political dialogue between the various Libyan parties; and welcomed the new ceasefire agreement and the return to negotiations under the auspices of the United Nations.

On the other hand, he praised the rapid and effective measures taken by the State of Qatar to counter the COVID-19 pandemic, both locally to preserve the health of its citizens and residents, and internationally through health aids and field hospitals that it donated to some countries to help alleviate their suffering from the effects of the pandemic.
