The Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed “Saudi Arabia’s hope that the Libyan parties will officially sign the electoral laws, as an important step towards ending the crisis and strengthening security and stability, and that Libya will play an active and influential role in its regional and international environment, in the service of the brotherly Libyan people’s aspirations for development and prosperity.”
On Tuesday, the “6+6” joint commission announced that, after two weeks of meetings in Morocco, its members had reached a compromise on the laws governing the presidential and parliamentary elections scheduled for the end of the year.
