According to Libyan News Agency, this emphasis on collaboration was articulated during a meeting held at the Council’s headquarters in Tripoli. The meeting included a delegation from the Council of Elders and Notables of Bani Walid, as well as High Council of State members Fathallah Al-Sariri and Khaled Al-Khazmi.
The discussions reviewed the past contributions of the Council of Elders and Notables in conflict resolution, mediation, and the promotion of social peace across Libya’s various regions. Key topics such as the establishment of governorates, the activation of decentralization, and the Local Administration Law were also on the agenda.
