Moroccan diplomacy enjoys the trust of the Libyan rivals for its neutrality and non-interference in domestic Libyan issues. The Moroccan-hosted talks received international acclaim from the UN, the EU, the African Union and global powers as well as from the Libyan rivals in the east and west. Hence, Morocco is not putting forward any plan but rather prepares conditions propitious for inter-Libyan dialogue. The trust Rabat enjoys among Libyan rivals make it a key country in diplomatic efforts to resolve the Libyan conflict.
