Morocco and Libya signed the minutes of the first Libya-Moroccan joint consular committee meeting this Saturday, November 27, in Rabat.

The talks included plans to facilitate visa procedures for Libyan students and their families to obtain documentation and residency, as well as easing procedures for investors and businessmen from both countries.

The meetings also emphasize activating judicial cooperation agreements and transferring convicts, and working to facilitate the resumption of flights between the two countries.

The Libyan delegation was chaired by the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Consular Affairs, Murad Hamima, while the Moroccan side was headed by the Director of the Consular Affairs Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Mohammad Al Basri.

Moroccan-Libyan diplomatic relations have been flourishing in the last years, due to Morocco’s active involvement in the peace process for the country, under the auspices of the United Nations.

Richard Norland, Special Envoy and Ambassador of the United States of America to Libya, had stressed the need to work to support all Libyan parties in order to formulate a road map that would lead Libya to stability, ahead of the country’s much anticipated presidential election.

In a statement to the media on the sidelines of the consultative meeting between the House of Representatives and the Supreme Council of State regarding Libyan election law hosted in Rabat, the US official stressed the need to encourage all Libyan leaders to work together, making necessary compromises to meet the aspirations of the Libyan people to hold free and fair elections on the scheduled date of December 24.
