Libya launches new social registry to target support for vulnerable citizens
The registry uses a classification system based on income, health status and family size, and will be updated periodically to maintain accurate information. According to Al‑Kilani, the scheme is designed to protect the most vulnerable and reduce social and economic risks, making it a cornerstone of Libya's wider efforts to foster social cohesion and support economic stability.
The project is expected to improve living standards for a broad segment of the population by streamlining access to essential services and financial aid. News Tagged: Ministry of Social Affairs

Dbeibah in Istanbul summit: My government is capable of playing a balanced and responsible regional role
The Head of Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, stressed on Friday the need to strengthen partnerships in the fields of energy, oil and gas, and infrastructure, and to link Libya to regional projects in the Mediterranean, including investment in ports, development of electrical grids, and support for joint strategic projects, within the framework of development integration that serves the interests of the peoples of the region and provides new opportunities for growth. This came during the trilateral summit held in Istanbul, which brought together Dbeibah, Turkish President Recep, Tayyip Erdoğan, and Italian Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, to discuss regional cooperation, stability, and economic integration in the Mediterranean region, according to a statement issued by Dbeibah's government. Dbeibah stressed Libya's keen interest in consolidating effective partnerships based on a balanced position and mutual respect, and its efforts to restore its regional role as an effective and reliable partner, reflecting the improvement of the political and security situation in the country. The GNU stated that the summit addressed prospects for economic cooperation between the three countries. Dbeibah reviewed in his statement the field efforts led by his government to combat smuggling networks and illegal activities. He also presented a comprehensive vision for enhancing regional coordination in this regard, calling for a quadripartite ministerial meeting, including Libya, Turkey, Italy, and Qatar, to begin implementing joint projects and unify efforts on priority issues. He noted that the State of Qatar has expressed its practical willingness to participate in the areas of logistical, humanitarian, and technical support. Dbeibah also addressed the large-scale security operation recently launched by his government in the capital, Tripoli, and a number of other areas, noting that this campaign aims to end the influence of outlaw armed groups involved in blackmailing state institutions and interfering in their sovereign work. He emphasized that this operation is not a temporary measure, but rather reflects a clear political and security choice to restore the state's prestige and build institutions that operate under the law, free from tutelage or threat. He considered the dismantling of these parallel structures a pivotal step toward ending the influence of gangs and enabling the state to extend its full authority over its institutions and facilities, thus creating a climate for implementing national policies on various issues, most notably migration and borders. He emphasized that the government is in a "stronger position politically and on the ground, and is now capable of playing a balanced and responsible regional role." He noted that the tripartite summit represents clear political support for the sovereign path pursued by the Libyan state and reflects growing international recognition of its efforts to consolidate stability and cooperation in the Mediterranean basin.

Dbeibah summons EU and allied envoys over plans to visit eastern Libya
Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah summoned four European ambassadors on Wednesday to seek clarification over the EU's stance on the rival administration in eastern Libya, amid reports of a possible diplomatic visit to the region. According to Italy's Nova news agency, the envoys summoned included EU Ambassador Nicola Orlando, Italian Ambassador Gianluca Alberini, Greek Ambassador Nikolaos Garilidis, and Maltese Ambassador Charles Saliba. The move comes as speculation grows that the diplomats are planning a visit to Benghazi, the stronghold of eastern commander Khalifa Haftar and seat of the parallel government. Separately, UK Minister for the Middle East, Hamish Falconer, cancelled a scheduled visit to Benghazi after reportedly rejecting a condition set by Haftar — that members of the eastern-based government be present at the meeting. The same demand is believed to have derailed a joint visit by the foreign ministers of Malta, Italy, and Greece on 8 July. Tags: PM Dbeibah
