The foreign minister told a press conference he was also planning to visit the Libyan opposition stronghold of Benghazi next week, as the UAE was one of the first countries to have recognized the Libyan regime-opposing NTC.
The Libyan people have long suffered hardships and injustice over four decades as a result of the rule of Qaddafi, he stressed, adding "the days to come will be hard for our brothers in Libya," calling for the continued support of Arab nations to Libya.
The Libyan government own assets worth around USD 500-700 million in the UAE, and reactivating these assets would require another Security Council resolution, he added.
The UAE would welcome such a decision in the quickest opportunity possible, noted the foreign minister.
