Vice-President of the Presidency Council, Musa Kuni, announced that the UN-backed unity government has moved into official operational space in Tripoli.
Kuni underlined the intention of the GNA to assume its work from the headquarters of the government, describing the handover of the building as "genuine start" for the government to take active steps toward revitalizing Libya.
Kuni spoke at the press conference held for local and foreign media following the takeover of the premises officially in Tripoli.
He also spoke about unifying state institutions east and west, fighting Daesh and addressing the issue of cash, power disruption and resumption of oil production and opening of the coastal road linking Tripoli with Zawia.
He stressed that the Presidency Council's efforts to face all challenges will start with fighting Daesh and eradicating the organization completely.
On issues of cash, he said the Presidency Council took steps to address the issue. He said the issue of power disruption is not a new but a chronic problem due to mounting problems of power sector in the country, Kuni added.
He said the Presidency Council will continue to examine the ongoing issues of corruption and finances. Kuni said the deficit would be addressed as soon as generation station in Obari is completed, which would alleviate pressure on the north.
The Council will continue its efforts to bring back companies with projects in Libya to complete their work, with a special focus on energy projects.
On resuming oil production, Kuni said continuous contacts with Oil Installation Guards have set plans to resume oil export, which would in turn revitalize Libyan economy.
On opening of Coastal road between Zawia and Tripoli, he said all matters have been addressed and the road would be reopened soon.
This first meeting in Tripoli covered a wide range of topics. Each issue will be investigated and addressed further at upcoming meetings of the government.
