CEN-SAD welcomes positive results of Libyan-Libyan dialogue of Bouznika

Rabat, Morocco (PANA) - The Executive Secretariat of the Community of Sahel-Saharan States (CEN-SAD) Friday welcomed the successful outcome of the inter-Libyan talks held in Bouznika, Morocco, a statement issued here Saturday said.

"The Executive Secretariat of CEN-SAD takes note and welcomes the successful outcome of the inter-Libyan talks held in Bouznika, Morocco, as reflected in the communiqué signed on Thursday, 10 September 2020 by the Libyan parties," the statement said.

CEN-SAD welcomed the open-mindedness, sense of patriotism shown by the parties, urging them to continue working to restore national harmony, security and peace, with a view to conducting free and inclusive elections.

It also expressed its "highest appreciation" to the Moroccan sovereign, Mohammed VI, for his constant commitment, diplomatic impetus and his multifaceted efforts to reconcile the Libyan parties through dialogue, the statement added.

CEN-SAD also paid glowing tribute to Moroccan diplomacy for its significant contributions in the promotion of peace and security in the Sahel-Saharan space.

This went particularly to the Moroccan minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans living abroad, Nasser Bourita "who, in this case, has shown a sense of responsibility, institutional availability and conclusive determination".

In this regard, CEN-SAD called on all components of Libyan society to give peace a chance in Libya by supporting the implementation of the conclusions of the Bouznika talks.

It also urged the Peace and Security Council of the African Union, the United Nations Security Council and the Organisation for Islamic Cooperation to support, at all levels, their implementation.

It renewed its readiness to contribute to a good follow-up of the arrangements concluded for the sole benefit of the return of stability and security in Libya and in the Sahel-Saharan area.
