India on Saturday supported the National Transitional Council of Libya and announced plans of considering a $2 million assistance to the country. “India has been in touch with the NTC in Benghazi and Cairo and our Charge d’Affairs has extended support. We have extended $1 million assistance. Further a $2 million assistance is being thought of,” Foreign Secretary Ranjan Mathai said here.
Maintaining that India recognised states and not Governments, he said, “We have extended support to NTC on our own.” India had attended a meeting in Paris sometime ago and that New Delhi will also be participating in the high-level meeting on Libya scheduled to be held on the margins of the UNGA on September 20, called by the UN Secretary General, he added.
In statement, the Ministry of External Affairs expressed willingness to extend all possible assistance to the Libyan people in their political transition, rebuilding and reconstruction activities.
“India extended support to the acceptance of credentials of the delegation of the Transitional National Council of Libya led by its President Mustafa Abdel Jalil to attend the forthcoming UN General Assembly session in New York,” it said.
At the UN meeting, India will reiterate its willingness to extend all possible assistance to the people of Libya in their political transition, rebuilding and reconstruction activities.
