The Paris conference on Libya is expected to be attended by leaders of neighboring countries and countries concerned with the Libyan crisis, as well as the US Vice President Kamla Harris, whose spokesperson confirmed her attendance of the summit.

The Paris conference will bring together the heads of state and government of the countries invited to the Berlin conferences, in a form that will be extended, for the first time, to include all the neighboring countries of Libya, according to what the French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian announced before the Libya Stabilization Conference.

Le Drian said: “The Paris conference will be organized in close cooperation with the United Nations and will be co-chaired by France, Italy and Germany, and will provide the final international impetus needed to support the elections at the end of the year, and to ensure that the conditions conducive to holding these elections are met and that their results are respected.”

The head of French diplomacy explained that the conference “will endorse the Libyan plan for exit of foreign forces and mercenaries and support its implementation, to put an end to foreign interference.
