Berlin plans to host summit on Libya
Print Edition
Germany is planning to host a peace summit on Libya this month, a government spokesman said yesterday, amid a whirlwind of diplomatic efforts to push for an end to the crisis.
“The preparation for such a conference is ongoing. It should, in any case, take place in January here in Berlin,” said Steffen Seibert.
The spokesman said he could not provide a firm date as yet but confirmed that Sunday was a possible option.
Berlin’s confirmation came after a series of talks by parties likely to attend any such summit.
On Saturday, Chancellor Angela Merkel visited Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow where both parties — mediators in the crisis — called for international efforts to end the strife in Libya.
Merkel also spoke with Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi on the issue yesterday, according to the Egyptian government.
