Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Sunday that his country is willing to send "personnel and experts" to monitor the ceasefire in Libya.

The ceasefire might be reached during the Berlin Conference on Libya.

In statements to Britain's Sky News television upon his arrival in Berlin, Johnson said that it is time to prevent "external proxies" from interfering in Libya's war.

"Proxy conflicts only come to an end when the external proxies decide that they want to bring it to an end," UK Prime Minister noted.

"We want to have a UN-led peace process and stop this jockeying for position," he added. "The people of Libya have suffered enough."

Johnson also said that they came to Berlin to discuss cease-fire implementation in the Arab country.

"I don't see any ceasefire at the moment," the Prime minister concluded. "That's what we are arguing for today."

It is worth mentioning that the conference kicked off in the presence of Commander of the Libyan National Army Khalifa Haftar and Head of the Government of the National Accord (GNA) Fayez al-Sarraj.

Egypt, the UAE, Algeria, Italy, Congo, Turkey and the five permanent members of the Security Council (US, UK, France, China, and Russia) are also taking part in the conference.
