The talks will focus on finalizing the Libyan Political Agreement which aims to create a Government of National Accord.

The UN Support Mission in Libya said it has been informed by the General National Congress (GNC) that its team will not be attending this round of talks in Skhirat, explaining that it needs to reorganize its negotiating team following the resignation of two members.

The GNC assured UNSMIL that it remains committed to the dialogue process and will participate in the next session.

The same day, Egyptian and Libyan officials convened a meeting to discuss the re-opening of the Musaid border crossing to give their citizens safe passage across the borders.
