WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The United States and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are determined to take action in the upcoming weeks to address the situation in Libya, US Secretary of State John Kerry stated on Monday.
“We also talked very seriously today about Libya, and we are committed to taking steps in the next weeks, months to try to address that situation,” Kerry said after the meeting with UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
There are currently two warring governments in the county: the internationally recognized Council of Deputies based in Tobruk and the self-proclaimed General National Congress, based in the capital city of Tripoli.
A UN-brokered dialogue on national reconciliation in Libya has continued for almost a year. In October, negotiators came up with a list of proposed candidates for Libya’s national unity government.
