Aqla Saleh becomes the first Libyan to lead the Asian-African Parliamentary Body in a historic diplomatic milestone
Tripoli — June 27, 2026 — The Supreme Council of Libyan Unions and Syndicates has officially congratulated the President of the Libyan House of Representatives, Counselor Aqla Saleh, on his election as President of the Asian-African Parliamentary Council. The announcement, issued today, marks a significant diplomatic achievement for Libya on the continental and international stage.
The congratulatory cable was received by the President of the House of Representatives on Saturday, June 27, 2026, according to a statement published by the Supreme Council of Libyan Unions and Syndicates. The election places Libya at the forefront of parliamentary diplomacy across Asia and Africa, two regions representing more than 60 percent of the world's population and a combined GDP exceeding $35 trillion.
A Historic First for Libyan Diplomacy
Counselor Aqla Saleh's election to the presidency of the Asian-African Parliamentary Council represents a landmark moment for Libya's international standing. The council serves as the primary parliamentary body connecting nations across two continents, facilitating legislative cooperation among its 52 member states.
The Supreme Council of Libyan Unions and Syndicates described the election as a reflection of growing international confidence in Libya's leadership and its return to active participation in regional and global institutions. The body emphasized that this achievement underscores Libya's commitment to strengthening parliamentary ties with Asian and African nations.

Supreme Council Praises Leadership
The Supreme Council of Libyan Unions and Syndicates stated in its official congratulatory message that Counselor Aqla Saleh's election is "a source of pride for all Libyans" and reflects the country's prominent position among nations. The council highlighted Saleh's extensive experience in parliamentary affairs and his role in strengthening Libya's legislative framework.
"This election is not merely a personal achievement but a national accomplishment that elevates Libya's status in international parliamentary forums," the Supreme Council's statement read. "We are confident that Counselor Saleh will represent Libya with distinction and advance the interests of our nation and our continent."
Why This Matters for Libya
For Libya, this diplomatic milestone carries profound significance. The country has been working to rebuild its international relationships and reassert its role as a key player in African and Arab affairs. The election of the House of Representatives President to lead a major continental parliamentary body signals that Libya's legislative institutions are regaining credibility and influence on the world stage.
The Asian-African Parliamentary Council plays a critical role in shaping policy coordination among member states, addressing shared challenges such as economic development, security cooperation, and democratic governance. Libya's leadership position within this council provides the country with a platform to advocate for its priorities and contribute to continental decision-making processes.
Broader Regional Context
This achievement comes amid a period of renewed diplomatic activity involving Libya's parliamentary leadership. In mid-June 2026, Counselor Saleh hosted a delegation from Morocco's Council of Counselors in Tripoli, where both sides discussed enhancing bilateral parliamentary cooperation. The Moroccan delegation honored the Libyan Parliament President in recognition of his efforts to strengthen ties between the two nations.
The Libyan House of Representatives, composed of 200 members elected through direct popular vote, has been increasingly active in international parliamentary engagements. The individual-based electoral system adopted for parliamentary elections has produced a body that represents diverse constituencies across the country.
Looking Ahead
Counselor Aqla Saleh's new role as President of the Asian-African Parliamentary Council is expected to open new avenues for Libya's diplomatic engagement. Observers anticipate that Libya will leverage this position to strengthen trade partnerships, promote security cooperation, and contribute to parliamentary capacity-building across Africa and Asia.
The Supreme Council of Libyan Unions and Syndicates has pledged its full support for Counselor Saleh's leadership agenda, calling on all national institutions to cooperate in ensuring that Libya maximizes the benefits of this historic appointment. As Libya continues its path toward stability and reconstruction, this diplomatic achievement serves as a powerful reminder of the nation's enduring potential and its capacity to lead on the international stage.
