ALGERIES, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) -- Algerian Foreign Minister Abdelkader Messahel affirmed Algeria's support for the UN initiative to resolve the Libyan crisis, official Algeria Press Service reported Sunday.
Messahel, who is attending the UN General Assembly in New York, said to media Sunday that "Algeria has supported and will support the United Nations in its efforts to accompany the Libyans to resolve their crisis, but we are against multiple initiatives because that may complicate things."
The minister added that Algeria welcomes all efforts that strengthen the UN initiative to solve the Libyan crisis. He stressed that "we need Libya's stability. The Libyan should have strong government institutions, a unified army, a parliament and a legitimate representation of citizens. This could put the Libyans in a strong position against terrorism."
In the same time, he stressed that "Algeria's position is based on non-interference in the affairs of other countries and the rejection of any interference in our internal affairs."
Libyan central figures reached a shaky peace accord following UN-sponsored talks held in Morocco on Dec. 17, 2015, in an attempt to end over six years of civil war.
Both a national unity government and a cabinet were established, headed by Prime Minister Fayez al-Seraj, whose top mission is uniting Libya's opposing parliament in order to stand united in their fight against terrorist militants.
Currently, Libya has two rival parliaments, the House of Representatives which is the internationally recognized one, based in the eastern port city of Tobruk, and the General National Congress parliament, based in the capital city of Tripoli.
