    The Sovereign paid tribute to the involvement of all the components of the Libyan people and its political bodies in this major national event, welcoming "the strong determination they have shown for the completion of the building of democracy on the basis of the rule of law and legitimate institutions."

    He also expressed the Kingdom's support for all efforts and initiatives undertaken to address the political, security and social challenges and achieve comprehensive development.
