In taking note of recent statements by General Haftar, Italy reaffirms its full support and recognition of the legitimate Libyan Institutions recognized by the international community: Presidential Council, Government of National Accord, House of Representatives and High Council of State. Italy underlines that any decision on the future of Libya must be taken by consensus and democracy in the wake of the Skhirat Political Agreement of December 2015 and the stabilization path led by the United Nations in the framework of the Berlin Process.
In this context, Italy renews its invitation to the parties to join a truce during the holy month of Ramadan and to work constructively towards a lasting ceasefire.
