On Tuesday, the Libyan House of Representatives gathered in Sirte for the vote of confidence on the interim government headed by Prime Minister-designate. Dbeibeh attended the session to present the full list of his government to the parliamentary, while also presenting statements on various issues as well. Responding to a question regarding the maritime deal signed with Turkey, Dbeibeh stated that the Libyan-Turkish agreement in the eastern Mediterranean is to the Libyan people’s benefit. By virtue of the agreement, Libya has received a pleasant share of its natural gas right, he added.
The internationally recognized government of Libya and Turkey inked an agreement on security cooperation and demarcation of a maritime border on November 27, 2019.
Assembled to take a vote of confidence for Dbeibeh’s ministerial list, including 26 ministerial positions as well as six state ministers, the Libyan House of Representative postponed the session to tomorrow.
