Participants in the face-to-face security and military talks among delegations representing the Libyan Arab Armed Forces and the Government of National Accord recommended speeding up the holding of the direct 5+5 Joint Military Committee (JMC) meetings in the coming week.
This came in a statement issued at the conclusion of the two-day direct security and military talks between the two delegations, hosted by the Red Sea resort of Hurghada and sponsored by the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL).
The participants agreed on the immediate release of all those detained on account of their identity and without pre-conditions or restrictions; take immediate measures to exchange, before the end of October, all those detained during military operations through the formation of specialized committees from the relevant parties, the UNSMIL said in a statement on its official website.
They also agreed on halting all hate speech campaigns and replacing them with a discourse that promotes tolerance and reconciliation, and rejection of violence and terrorism.
They recommended expediting the re-opening of air traffic and land transportation lines across all Libyan cities to ensure freedom of movement for all citizens.
The participants reviewed the security arrangements, which will be determined at a later stage within the framework of the 5+5 Joint Military Committee (JMC) talks.
They agreed on referring the Petroleum Facilities Guard (PFG) tasks and responsibilities to the 5+5 JMC and requesting that it prioritizes this issue, provide a comprehensive assessment of the situation and take the measures required to ensure regular oil and gas production and export.
UNSMIL expressed its sincere gratitude to the Egyptian government for its efforts in facilitating this important round of Libyan talks.
The UN mission equally appreciated the efforts of both delegations and welcomes the outcomes reached during the discussion.
UNSMIL wished that this positive development would contribute to paving the way towards a final and lasting ceasefire agreement.
