Director General of League of Arab States Ahmed Aboul-Gheit revealed that his envoy to Libya is scheduled to visit Tobruk during the next week to hold talks with the Libyan officials in the framework of the current efforts aiming to find political solution for the Libyan crisis.

The statement came during a press conference gathering between representatives of African Union, European Union and the United Nations on Saturday. The officials held a meeting to discuss the recent developments witnessed in Libya during the recent days.

Aboul-Gheit added, “Our major objective is to support the Libyans to achieve democratic transition through coordinating between the four organizations. He added, “We agreed to support the Libyan presidential council to reach a political solution as soon as possible.”

He added that they condemned the attacks launched by the extremist militias against the Oil Crescent area on March 3, calling the different parties for suspending the military operations and to protect the oil infrastructure.

We renewed our commitment to the political agreement concluded in the Moroccan city of Skheirat, as it provides the general framework upon which the Libyan parties can reach inclusive settlement.”

The director general of the Arab league stressed support for the internationally-recognized presidential council, calling the other parties, including the House of Representatives and the High Council of the state to start a serious dialogue aiming to treat the controversial points and to reach compromises paving the way for completing the required steps to overcome the current crisis.
