Berlin hopes to get all international participants to use their influence to push for progress on Libya peace talks, a German Foreign Ministry spokesman claimed today, setting out modest ambitions for a Berlin peace conference this weekend.
Spokesman Rainer Breul clarified that the aim is “broader” than the Moscow conference, whose aim was to secure a ceasefire.
A German government spokesman declined to give a precise list of the conference’s participants and could not confirm whether Fayez al-Serraj and Khalifa Haftar will attend Sunday’s summit, but announced that the invitations “resonated” well with the invitees.
