President of the Presidency Council also spokes about the special significance attached by the Council to putting in place and implementing an effective programme for Disarmament Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) and work to build army and police institutions.

Sarraj called on the international community to support the ongoing efforts to strength national institutions and provide them with technical assets and specialized training to counter the threats and risks in a coherent and coordinated manner in harmony with national needs and in a manner that safeguards Libya's sovereignty and territorial integrity. =Lana=
