Rabat – Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Bourita presented King Mohammed VI’s approach to the Libyan Crisis as part of the Libya conference in Paris.
Bourita said the King has been closely following the developments that emerged from Libya, and has been framing Morocco’s engagement in the conflict as a part of his vision.
He also said that Morocco hopes to offer a welcoming space for the Inter-Libyan dialogue to be carried out, with no interference or agenda.
The Kingdom’s ultimate goal is to provide a space where all parties can be in a state of agreement and harmony, according to this royal approach.
The approach, which bases itself on respecting Libya’s sovereignty, as well as preventing any forms of foreign paternalism or interventionism in the country’s governance, has already resulted in a few major advances in the issue.
The 2015 Skhirat Agreement, the roundtable talks that occurred in Tangier and Bouznika, as well as this year’s meeting in Rabat have shown that Morocco can play a crucial role in solving the crisis.
The conference in Paris aimed to support the ongoing Libyan political transition and make strides towards holding a national election in the country.
One of the goals was also to support requests for the withdrawal of foreign troops from Libya.
Back in March, King Mohammed VI supported measures for Libya to address its challenges on its own, for a peaceful transition phase. The King has also always criticized foreign interference in the country, affirming that Libya must retain its sovereignty and independence to find a way out of the conflict.
Libyan parties and officials have on their end expressed gratitude to Morocco. Khalid al-Mishri, the Chairman of the Libyan High Council of State, recently thanked the country for what he described as its unwavering support in facilitating the country’s UN-led political process.
