Western Engagements: Speeches in Washington DC & London

“Hello, good afternoon, this is Virginia Comolli from IISS. A warm welcome to all of you. Today we have the opportunity for an on-the-record discussion with Dr. Aref Ali Nayed who is currently the chairman of Kalam Research & Media and chairman of the Libyan Institute for Advanced Studies. He is also the former ambassador of Libya to the UAE. As you all know, Libya is seeing turbulent times and during the past four years, increased political fragmentation and insecurity have really given rise to a deep, deep crisis. Today we have the opportunity in this conversation to discuss the options for a political settlement.”
