(VOVworld) - All participants of the international conference on Libya held in Rome supported a UN-backed Libyan national unity government deal on Sunday. Representatives from 17 countries, including Egypt, Germany, Russia, Turkey, and China signed a joint statement calling for an immediate ceasefire and promising to cut off contacts with factions that do not sign the deal. The statement said that only a unity government can bring solidarity and stability, and end chaos in Libya. The participants also pledged to support the implementation of the political agreement and provide the Government of National Accord full political backing and any technical, economic, security, or counter-terrorism assistance requested.
