Malta hosts UN-led political dialogue on Libya

Malta is hosting a Libyan political dialogue meeting which is being held under the auspices of the United Nations, together with the head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, Martin Kobler.
Foreign Affairs Minister George Vella, who addressed the meeting this morning, was quoted in a ministry press statement saying that Malta was “proud” to host the meeting.
“This makes us proud for two reasons: firstly, because it is testimony to the close friendship that still exists between the Maltese and Libyans and, secondly, because you are giving us an opportunity to contribute directly in the search for a solution to your country’s problems,” the press statement read.
Vella said he was saddened by the way things developed in Libya, still creating so much hardship and loss of life amongst Libyan families.
