EU welcomes Moroccan initiative: Brotherhood leaders to life:

The European Union Friday welcomed and encouraged Moroccos initiative on Libya saying it is a timely contribution to the efforts of the United Nations for a political solution to the crisis in Libya.

This position was expressed by EU High Representative Josep Borrell in a phone conversation today with Minister of Foreign Affairs of Morocco Nasser Bourita.

In this context, a broad convergence of views emerged between the two interlocutors on the prospects opened up by the inter-Libyan dialogue recently hosted by Morocco in Bouznika, noted a statement released by Borrells office. (KUNA)
