The European Union (EU) welcomed on Thursday Morocco’s initiative to support the UN-led mediation process to resolve the Libyan conflict.
“The EU welcomes any initiative aimed at supporting the UN-led mediation process and advancing the resolution of the Libyan conflict through a political process,” the EU spokesperson for Foreign Affairs Peter Stano told MAP.
“The EU will continue to actively support the Libyan people in their aspirations to establish a peaceful, stable and prosperous country,” he added.
This statement by the EU spokesperson reiterates the position expressed by the High Representative for European Union Foreign Policy Josep Borrell, last September, during a meeting with Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad Nasser Bourita.
Borrell had “welcomed and encouraged this Moroccan initiative as a timely contribution to the efforts of the United Nations for a political solution to the crisis in Libya, in order to guarantee the cohesion of the country, its territorial integrity and its sovereignty”.
The two officials had agreed “to continue their dialogue and their respective efforts in this direction, in a spirit of close consultation in order to boost the political dynamic under way between the Libyan parties”.
A second round of inter-Libyan dialogue was organized on Oct. 02 to 06 in Bouznika.
In the final statement that crowned this meeting, held under the auspices of the UN, the delegations of the High Council of State and of the House of Representatives of Libya announced comprehensive agreements on criteria and mechanisms for holding key positions, provided for in Article 15 of the Libyan Political Agreement of Skhirat.
