The Iranian First Vice President Mohammad-Reza Rahimi has declared the readiness of the Islamic Republic to help Libya rebuild its economic infrastructure.

In a message on Monday, Rahimi congratulated Ali Zidan on his election as the Libyan prime minister and announced Tehran�s readiness to transfer its experiences to the North African country.

Rahimi further expressed hope that a new era of political life and national sovereignty would begin in Libya.

On Sunday, Libyan General National Congress (GNC) elected Zidan, one of the long-time opponents of slain dictator Muammar Gaddafi, as the country's new prime minister.

Zidan�s election came a week after the GNC dismissed Mustafa Abushagur as premier following the rejection of his second proposed cabinet line-up to form a �crisis government.�
