The Governments of France, Germany, Italy and United Kingdom
warmly welcome the results of the UN mediated Fourth Round of the
intra-Libyan Joint Military Commission (5+5), the conclusion by
the Libyan parties of a permanent cease-fire agreement and the
announcement by the United Nations Support Mission in Libya of
the launch of the Libyan Political Forum Dialogue which gathered
remotely for the first time on October 26.
The Governments of France, Germany, Italy and United Kingdom call
on the Libyan parties to abide by their commitments and implement
the agreement in full.
The stage is now set for the next crucial step of the
intra-Libyan dialogue through the upcoming meeting of the Libyan
Political Dialogue Forum in Tunis, starting on November 9, in
which the Libyan themselves will agree on the future
institutional framework of the Country and on a path of
stability, security and prosperity.
France, Germany, Italy and United Kingdom fully share and support
the overall objective of the LPDF, to generate consensus on a new
unified governance framework and arrangements that will lead to
holding national elections in the shortest possible timeframe in
order to restore Libya’s sovereignty and the democratic
legitimacy of Libyan institutions.
In this crucial phase we support the call by UNSMIL to assure an
orderly transition towards the future institutional framework and
for all to work responsibly towards a positive outcome of the
LPDF, which remains the only viable option to overcome the Libyan
crisis.
