Libyan foreign minister visits Tehran

Aldabaiba had promised that women would account for 30 percent of his government – as prescribed at the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) in Geneva. In the event just four ministers are women – a proportion of just 14 percent, half what was promised. Aldabaiba had revealed at his first press conference in Tripoli, after his selection by the LPDF, that the 13 constituencies had not put forward women for ministerial positions.
