U.S. senior diplomat vows more help to Libya
Visiting U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice on Monday held talks with Libyan interim Prime Minister Abdel Rahim el-Keeb, and vowed more help for the Libyan people in various areas.

Hailing the accomplishments that the Libyan people had made, Rice said that the United States will "take all necessary efforts to continue our full partnership."

She promised to offer more help for the Libyan people in fields like national security, the destruction of chemical weapons and the building of a new democratical government.

"I wish we can see a stronger relationship between the U.S. and Libya," Rice stressed.

Meanwhile, el-Keeb welcomed the visit of Rice, who arrived in the Libyan capital of Tripoli Monday, saying that "I want to solute through you the U.S. position during our difficult time."

On the capture of Saif al-Islam, son of fallen leader Muammar Gaddafi, and ex-intelligence chief Abdullah al-Senussi, el-Keeb ensured that they would receive fair trials in Libya.

He also noted that the ruling National Transitional Council would announce the list of the interim government Tuesday.
