The head of the Presidential Council, Mohamed Menfi, met on Thursday in the city of Zawiya with a broad range of representatives from coastal areas and the Western Mountain region, according to his media office. The meeting was attended by mayors, security directors, military and security leaders, elders, tribal figures and sheikhs, as well as representatives of civil society organisations, university academics, national figures and local community leaders. In remarks during the meeting, Menfi stressed the longstanding national importance of Zawiya and the coastal and Western Mountain regions, highlighting their role in supporting efforts toward comprehensive national reconciliation aimed at healing divisions and unifying the country. He said Libya, drawing inspiration from its historical legacy, continues to believe in dialogue as an approach, engagement as a means, and partnership as the foundation for shaping the future of coming generations — guided by the sacrifices of previous generations in resisting colonialism and achieving independence under a unified national banner.
