The United States congratulates Mr. Salihin Abdalnabi on becoming Speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives, as well as Mr. Tareq Ashtar and Mr. Misbah Douma on their selections as First and Second Deputy Speaker respectively. We look forward to working with the House of Representatives, its new leadership, and all Libyan stakeholders and institutions to advance a political process that unifies Libya's political, economic, and military institutions and clears the way for successful national elections. Libya's leaders and people have an opportunity to overcome their divisions, achieve national unity, and forge a lasting peace. Working closely with the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) and our international partners, the United States will remain at the forefront of diplomatic efforts to support Libyan-led unification.
