St Lucia to maintain ties with Libya

March 4, 2011 TIMES INT'L

St Lucia’s Prime Minister Stephenson King says that, while he supports the march towards democracy in Libya, his government is not considering severing diplomatic relations with that country. Pressure has been mounting on Libyan leader Muammar Gadaffi to step down, as a popular uprising against his over-40-year rule continues unabated.

The BBC Caribbean reported the St Lucian leader as saying that his government is continuing to monitor developments but was not in favour of breaking ties with Tripoli at this time.

The United States on Friday announced that it has suspended embassy operations in Libya and was moving forward with unilateral sanctions against the government of Colonel Gadaffi.

Britain and France had planned to present a draft proposal for sanctions against Libyan leaders at the UN Security Council on Friday. A vote is expected early next week. (Excerpted from Caribbean News Now)
