The Libyan Businessmen Council (LBC) has denounced the UN mission’s action regarding the economic dialogue committee to be formed during the coming period.

The council expressed its dissatisfaction with the lack of a clear mechanism and criteria for selecting the representatives in the committee referred to.

In a letter addressed to the UNSMIL Acting Head, Stephanie Williams, LBC Chairman, Eng. Abdullah Al-Falah emphasized the importance of including the council within the economic dialogue talks, as it represents the interests of the private sector, as he put it.

“The LBC works as a unified economic institution that represents all Libyan regions without exception and is not seeking government positions,” Al-Fallah said, stressing that the UNSMIL’s move shows disregard to the council and its role.

“The council will continue its efforts to establish civil peace, support the national economy, and contribute to building a healthy and effective economy that serves our country and contributes to its development,” Al-Fallah added.
