Representatives of the Libyan government will not attend a meeting on Libya organized by the Arab League as it violates the organization’s bylaws, the Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson said Monday.

Mohammed Al-Qablawi said the Libyan government has reviewed the Arab League’s decision taken during its extraordinary session at Cairo’s request and refuses to attend.

The Secretariat General of the Arab League announced last Friday that Egypt had requested an extraordinary meeting to discuss the latest developments in Libya.
