The international community is working on the withdrawal of foreign troops from Libya, but there is no specific date when this should happen. German Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Adebar said this at a briefing in Berlin on Friday.
“We need to facilitate the withdrawal of troops so that the situation develops towards the elections scheduled for 24 December”, – she said. According to her, “it is a complex process” and “there is no final date”.
An international conference on Libya was held in Berlin on Wednesday with representatives from Algeria, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Morocco, the Netherlands, the Republic of the Congo (which chairs the Libyan settlement commission in the African Union), Russia, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, the US, as well as UN delegations, the African Union, the European Union and the League of Arab States. Unlike all previous conferences on the Libyan issue, this time the country was represented at the meeting as a full participant.
Participants at this conference expressed their commitment to implementing the decisions of the previous meeting in Berlin in January 2020.
