A new round of Libyan political dialogue, hosted by Morocco and facilitated by the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) with the aim of ending the political crisis and military conflict in the country, started in Skhirat on the outskirts of Rabat, Moroccan news agency MAP reported.
Participants are expected to present their remarks regarding the overall framework outlined in the "Draft Agreement on the Political Transition in Libya", which includes the key issues of forming a government of national concord and security arrangements, including a ceasefire and withdrawal of armed groups from the cities, the UNSMIL said in a statement.
Significant progress has been achieved in earlier rounds, the last of which ended on March 26, the UNSMIL said, adding that since then participants had the opportunity to consult with their constituencies and key stakeholders on a proposal on a comprehensive solution to end the conflict in Libya.
The UNSMIL believes this round may be decisive in consolidating the significant progress achieved so far.
"The Mission is confident that the Libyan participants are coming to the talks in a spirit of reconciliation and determination to reach a political agreement to bring peace and stability to Libya", the statement noted.
