On Monday, a new session in the second round of the Libyan dialogue began in the Moroccan city of Bouznika in order to reduce the political tension that the country witnessed for years.

At the start of the meeting, Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita said before representatives of the Libyan Parliament in Tripoli: "We hope to sign the agreement in Bouznika soon."

Bourita expressed his hope to reach an agreement in the second round of the dialogue to cement everything related to the political positions in Tripoli.

Bourita also said: "What we accomplished in the Bouznika dialogue in its first-round gave hopes to the Libyans and the international community," stressing the role of Morocco in supporting these dialogues to fix the situation.

The Moroccan Foreign Minister confirmed that Morocco works in accordance with the United Nations by hosting dialogue between the Libyan warring parties.

On her part, International Envoy Stephanie Williams earlier addressed the negotiating parties in Bouznika, saying that resolving the current crisis is a top priority for the United Nations.
