Morocco has reiterated its steadfast support for the United Nations’ efforts to promote dialogue among Libya’s political factions, aiming for a comprehensive and lasting solution to the country’s protracted crisis.
The announcement came on Monday, August 4, during a high-level meeting in Rabat between Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita and Hanna Tetteh, Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL).
Speaking to the press after the meeting, Tetteh praised Morocco’s continuous diplomatic engagement, describing the Kingdom as a “very important partner” in the pursuit of stability and peace in Libya.
She commended Rabat’s proactive role in hosting and facilitating negotiations between rival Libyan parties in recent years.
“Morocco remains committed to supporting a Libyan-led solution that reflects the will and aspirations of the Libyan people,” said Minister Bourita. He reaffirmed Morocco’s position in favour of a peaceful political transition, emphasizing the importance of inclusive dialogue under the auspices of the UN.
Both sides stressed the need to maintain close coordination in the coming months to advance the political roadmap in Libya.
The meeting also served as a platform to reaffirm support for the ongoing UN-led process that seeks to bring all Libyan stakeholders to the negotiating table.
Libya has faced years of division and instability since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. International efforts to unify the country’s political institutions have yielded mixed results, with intermittent negotiations frequently disrupted by violence and competing external influences.
Morocco has emerged as a key diplomatic player in the peace process, previously hosting several rounds of inter-Libyan talks, including those in Bouznika and Skhirat, which laid groundwork for previous political agreements.
As tensions persist, Rabat’s renewed backing for UN mediation signals continued regional engagement in support of Libya’s long-delayed path to stability.
