DHAKA: Bangladesh Thursday formally recognized the newly formed Libyan interim government, as the rebels took control of the Arabian country from the Gaddafi regime, according to an official source.
Director-general of the external publicity wing of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Shamim Ahsan made the disclosure to banglanews.
He said, “The Libyan government was informed about the decision of giving recognition from Bangladesh government in the day even.”
On February 27, the West-backed rebels formed National Transitional Council to act as "the political face of the revolution”.
Its spokesman Hafiz Ghoga made clear at the launch press conference that the national council is not a provisional government and Ghoga also added that the newly formed council was not contacting foreign governments and did not want them to intervene.
He later clarified that an airstrike mandated by the United Nations would not be considered a foreign intervention.
On 5 March 2011, the council issued a statement in which it declared itself to be the “sole representative of all Libyans”. It was also stated that Mustafa Abdul Jalil was chairperson of the council.
On 10 March, France became first country to recognize the National Interim Council as Libya`s only legitimate government.
On 23 March, the council established an Executive Board to act as a transitional government for Libya.
Mahmoud Jibril was appointed Chairman of that board stating that council now serves as the “legislative body” and the new Executive Board will serve as the “executive body”.
Jebril is known to be leading the meeting and negotiations with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, a meeting that resulted in France officially recognizing the council as the sole representative of the Libyan people
