The Speaker of Libya's House of Representatives, Aguila Saleh, stressed the urgent need to form a single government whose main task will be to hold general elections.

This came during a meeting on Monday with the French President's Special Envoy for Libya, Paul Soler, accompanied by French Ambassador Mostafa Mihraje and their accompanying delegation.

Saleh also called for providing the necessary support to the High National Elections Commission to oversee the elections.
