The new president of the Presidency Council in Libya, Muhammad Al-Manfi - Sunday - held a meeting with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, which was held in Tobruk, Aqila Saleh, in the city of Al-Qubbah, in the east of the country.

During the meeting, the two officials discussed the latest developments in the country’s crisis.

A Libyan source told Al-Jazeera that the consultations included granting confidence to the new government, to be formed in the coming days.

Al-Manfi said in a tweet on Twitter, "I had a meeting with the Speaker of Parliament, Agila Saleh, during which the importance of the role of Parliament was discussed at this stage."

He added that he discussed creating conditions for granting confidence to the government of national unity, "so that it can achieve its goals, beginning with the unification of institutions, passing through to alleviating the suffering of citizens and extending security and stability in the country."

For his part, the Media Office of the Presidential Council stated that the meeting comes within a series of meetings that the exile conducts with deputies and officials in the eastern region of the country, with the aim of discussing ways to unify state institutions.

The exile also met with a number of members of the House of Representatives and mayors of municipalities adjacent to the city of Al-Bayda in eastern Libya, and discussed with them the challenges facing the new executive authority, after his visit to the cities of Benghazi and Tobruk in the past days, during which he met retired Major General Khalifa Haftar.

On February 5, under the auspices of the United Nations, the members of the Forum for Political Dialogue in Geneva elected the exiled president of the Presidential Council, with the membership of Musa Al-Koni, Abdullah Hussein Al-Lafi, and Abdel-Hamid Al-Dabaiba as the Prime Minister.

That temporary authority runs the country's affairs until the holding of presidential and parliamentary elections on December 24 next.

The new Libyan government needs to grant it confidence from the Tobruk Parliament in order for it to officially begin its duties, or it will be presented to the Dialogue Forum, according to the outcomes of the Geneva Dialogue.
