Morocco's foreign minister meets senior Libyan officials
Libya is seeking to extricate itself from a decade of chaos and conflict.
RABAT (AFP) - Morocco s foreign minister met on Friday with two senior Libyan officials as part of ongoing efforts to find a political solution to the crisis in the war-torn country, his ministry said.
Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita met separately with Khalid al-Mishri, head of the High Council of State based in the Libyan capital Tripoli, and eastern powerbroker Aguila Saleh, speaker of Libya s parliament, as part of "Morocco s efforts to resolve the Libyan crisis", a statement said.
The two men arrived on Thursday to take part in a new round of talks on key institutional appointments in Libya, according to Morocco.
Previous discussions hosted by Morocco have centred on positions including Libya s central bank governor and the heads of the electoral commission, the anti-corruption commission and the supreme court.
The talks in Rabat are the latest in several inter-Libyan dialogues held in the North African kingdom since September.
Libya is seeking to extricate itself from a decade of chaos and conflict that followed the toppling of dictator Moamer Kadhafi in the 2011 NATO-backed uprising.
A formal truce signed last October set in motion a UN-led process that led to the creation of an interim government tasked with unifying the country s divided institutions, launching reconstruction efforts and preparing for December polls.
Germany will host a new set of peace talks later this month in Berlin, with Libya s transitional government due to attend.
