The meeting was a follow-up to the London meeting of last 14 September and was opened with remarks by Salam\u00e9 and by the High Representative of the EU, Federica Mogherini, followed by a debate on the issue among attendees. Alfano\u2019s address to the meeting reiterated the tenets of Italy\u2019s stance on Libya, and more especially the need to reduce to just one the multiple, uncoordinated initiatives by the international community, with the United Nations acting as sole negotiator and Salam\u00e9 at the helm. \u201cThe time is right for Libyan people to agree on the necessary amendments to the political Agreement to encourage more inclusive dialogue\u201d said Alfano. \u201cIt\u2019s not just a question of east and west, Tripoli and Tobruk\u201d said the Minister, \u201cbut there is also Misurata and the south; the entire process could fail if this aspect is not understood\u201d. Alfano also stated that it \u201cwas vital to have an overall vision of Libya if there is to be stability in the country, and this vision must be decided by the Libyan people\u201d. The speech concluded with an invitation by Alfano to the European Union to \u201ccontribute to managing the flow of migrants\u201d, confirming that \u201cItaly will continue to do its best to protect and assist refugees and migrants\u201d and repeating that \u201cthere can be no compromise on human rights\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following a day filled with high level meetings, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Angelino Alfano, attended a meeting with EU foreign ministers on Libya, on the fringes of the General Assembly, which was also attended by UN Special Representative, Ghassan Salam\u00e9.
