TRIPOLI - Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, Libya's newly appointed prime minister, on Saturday confirmed that he has begun working on forming a new unity government.

"We are still working hard on forming a government of national unity. We have indeed begun the process of evaluation of all candidates and resumes that we received," Dbeibah tweeted.

"Our standards are efficiency, taking into consideration diversity and wide participation," he said.

Members of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF) recently voted for a new prime minister and a new three-member presidency council during a voting session in Geneva, which was welcomed by all the country's parties.
