TRIPOLI, April 10 (Xinhua) -- Libyan prime minister on Monday extended his government's support for the effort of UN envoy to Libya Abdoulaye Bathily in facilitating Libya to hold national elections.

Abdul-Hamed Dbeibah made his remarks during a meeting with Bathily in the Libyan capital of Tripoli, in presence of Foreign Minister Najla al-Mangoush, said a statement issued by the prime minister's information office.

Bathily briefed Dbeibahon on his recent talks with heads of state and defense ministers of Sudan and Chad on the withdrawal of foreign fighters from Libya in accordance with international coordination, as well as his recent meetings in eastern and southern Libya, the statement said.

Libya failed to hold general elections in December 2021 as previously scheduled due to disagreements over election laws among the Libyan parties.

In January, Dbeibah said his government is ready to hold general elections this year.
