Speaking at the "Friends of Libya" summit in Paris, Jalil declared will build a society full of tolerance and respect for the rule of law, BBC reports.
"We have to make sure that we fulfil our side of the deal. We must have security in Libya. Tolerance and forgiveness must be promoted. The state of law must be respected," Jalil declared.
