‎Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita opened a consultative meeting on Wednesday with a group of members of the House of Representatives (HoR) and the High Council of State (HCS) in the resort of Bouznika, northwest Morocco. He delivered a speech during the opening of the consultative meeting, which comes "within the framework of the Libyan-Libyan dialogue", stressing the urgent need for the "Skhirat spirit" to resolve the Libyan file, as well as the necessity of respecting the choices of the Libyan people, according to what was published by the Moroccan Ministry of Foreign Affairs on its Facebook page.

"Morocco maintains fixed positions that do not change with the change of events or contexts regarding the Libyan file," he said, adding: "The Kingdom of Morocco supports the stability and unity of Libya, which are considered an extension of its stability and unity. It also affirms that the solution to the Libyan crisis must be within the framework of a Libyan-Libyan dialogue away from external influences and pressure."

He believed that the large number of international and regional conferences on Libya cannot replace dialogues between the Libyan parties, stressing that "Morocco accompanies the Libyans and provides them with a wider scope for dialogue among themselves to achieve progress in the political path of their country."

Bourita said that Bouznika's hosting of this consultative meeting is a sign of trust between the two countries and peoples, and also a sign of the comfort of Libyans to hold meetings in Morocco, given the approach taken by the Kingdom of Morocco toward the Libyan file from the beginning.

Most of the members of the House of Representatives and the High Council of State's meeting in Bouznika had previously met in Cairo and Tunis in the past months, as part of the two chambers' attempts to resolve the ongoing political deadlock since the failure to hold elections on December 24, 2021.
