Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Libya Jan Kubis have welcomed the new dynamic in the Libyan issue, in particular the appointment of a new Libyan temporary executive authority, which was endorsed by the Libyan parliament and sworn-in on Monday. They noted that peace in Libya will have a positive impact on the security situation in the Sahel region and beyond. Bourita and Kubis agreed to hold regular contacts on the Libyan issue, within the framework of an approach based on inclusion, consultation and dialogue, for the good of Libya. Shortly before the first contacts between Kubis and Bourita, Bourita had also received a phone call from the newly elected Libyan Prime Minister, Abdul Hamid Dbeibah, who welcomed Morocco’s support for national reconciliation in Libya. Morocco hosted three dialogue sessions between the different Libyan parties in Bouznika, near Rabat, between September and November 2020.
