Q: Currently speaking, the Libyan "National Transitional Council" (NTC) has basically taken control of the situation in Libya. What is China's comment?

A: China follows closely major changes in the situation of Libya, respects the choice of the Libyan people and hopes to see a smooth power transition in Libya. We always attach importance to the significant role played by the "NTC" in the resolution of the Libyan issue and stay in contact with it. We hope that the new regime will take effective measures to pool the power of all parties, restore normal social order as soon as possible and be committed to political and economic reconstruction so as to ensure the Libyan people with a settled and happy life at an early date.
