We welcome the SRSG's efforts to convene representatives of the five major stakeholders in a preparatory meeting as a next step towards resolving the outstanding issues related to elections. The SRSG has been clear that the preparatory meeting will provide space for all parties to express their concerns. President, the benefits of setting Libya on the path towards a democratic, united, and stable state would be enormous. We urge those invited to the preparatory meeting of the major stakeholders to fully engage in order to fulfil their responsibilities to the Libyan people. The UK will continue to support the SRSG and work across Libya's divides to deliver for the Libyan people.
