Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi sent a cable to Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika in which he expressed his deep thanks for Bouteflika's initiative and stance talking to United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan to work on the final lifting of the sanctions that were imposed on Libya.

President Bouteflika addressed a message as the current head of the Organization of African Unity to Annan, in which he asked Annan to settle this matter so it could enhance the causes of peace, cooperation and understanding among the world's countries.

It said that Algeria's African summit that was held in July urgently demanded the final lifting up of all sanctions imposed on Libya.
