Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio met with Libyan Special Adviser Stephanie Williams in the capital Rome.
During the meetings, view exchanges were made between parties on Libya’s recent political developments and the election process. In addition, in the statement made by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was stated that Williams’ efforts are supported.
Di Maio stated that a reliable and comprehensive political ground should be established in order to respond to the Libyans’ demands for stability and democracy.
Calling for the leading actors to be in solidarity as a solution to preventing a political stalemate, the Italian Foreign Minister stated that he is hopeful for the future of Libya.
The Libyan presidential elections, planned to be held on December 24, was postponed.
