Regarding migration, Mr. Abdelnabi stressed that Libya bears an increasing burden as a transit country, calling for coordinated international efforts and the development of economic solutions that promote stability in countries of origin and curb migration flows.

The Speaker also discussed with Mr. Medhat Al-Ghadamsi, Executive Director of the Roya Foundation for Digital Development, the draft law establishing the National Authority for Science and Technology, and the ongoing consultations between the Foundation and the parliamentary committee tasked by Resolution No. (115) of 2025 with reviewing legislation related to communications and the digital space.

Representatives of the Authority called for intervention to compel public entities in arrears to pay their outstanding dues, given the strain these unpaid obligations place on the Authority's resources and its ability to operate the systems.
