Moroccan FM Nasser Bourita hosted a consultative meeting for Libyan HoR and HCS members in Bouznika, emphasizing the need for Libyan-led dialogue and the Skhirat spirit to address ongoing political challenges in Libya. He reiterated Morocco’s steadfast support for Libya’s stability and unity as integral to regional peace.
On Wednesday, Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita convened a consultative meeting in Bouznika, Morocco, engaging members from Libya’s House of Representatives (HoR) and the High Council of State (HCS). In his opening speech, Bourita underscored the significance of the Libyan-Libyan dialogue, advocating for the spirit of the Skhirat Agreement to guide the resolution of Libya’s ongoing crises. He emphasized Morocco’s unwavering stance on Libya, supporting its stability and unity as critical to regional stability. Bourita also dismissed the notion that international conferences could replace direct dialogues among Libyan factions, reaffirming Morocco’s role in facilitating discussions among Libyans themselves. Notably, this meeting follows earlier gatherings in Cairo and Tunis, underlining the continuous efforts to navigate Libya’s political deadlock.
The political climate in Libya remains fraught with challenges, particularly following the failed elections scheduled for December 24, 2021. Efforts to forge a consensus among various political factions have included international attention and numerous diplomatic summits. Morocco has positioned itself as a neutral ground for dialogue, advocating for solutions that arise solely from Libyan discussions without external interference. This consultative meeting aims to pave the way towards a more unified and stable governance framework for Libya, reflecting Morocco’s ongoing commitment to supporting peace in the region.
The consultative meeting chaired by Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita in Bouznika represents an essential step towards fostering dialogue among Libyan politicians amid ongoing political strife. By upholding the Skhirat spirit and prioritizing Libyan-led discussions, Morocco asserts its role as a trustworthy partner in Libya’s pursuit of stability. This gathering underscores the necessity of local engagement, moving beyond external pressures to achieve lasting solutions for the Libyan crisis.
