Moroccan-brokered talks between Libya’s two rival administrations have led to agreement on the need for compromise. “The two parties hope to secure positive and concrete results that will clear the way to achieving the process of a comprehensive political settlement,” says the representative of the Libyan High Council of State.
The meeting was held at the initiative of Rabat, which had hosted peace talks in 2015 that led to the creation of a United Nations-recognised government for Libya.
The talks come after the two sides announced ceasefire last fire.
MAP, citing a joint statement at the end of the meetings, said the parties had agreed to work to eradicate corruption and the abuse of public funds in the chaos-strewn country and to end its institutional divisions.
It said they had made “important compromises”, without giving any specifics.
“The two parties hope to secure positive and concrete results that will clear the way to achieving the process of a comprehensive political settlement.”
According to Abdessalam al-Safraoui, heading the team from Tripoli said that the dialogue in the coastal town of Bouznika, south of Rabat, was focused on appointments at the top of Libya’s key institutions.
