In response to questions related to the joint statement issued at the conclusion of the inter-Libyan dialogue held in Bouzinka, Kingdom of Morocco, in which representatives of the High State Council and the House of Representatives participated, the Spokesperson of the Secretary-General has the following to say: 

We welcome every inclusive political initiative and effort to support a peaceful resolution of the crisis in Libya. This includes recent efforts by the Kingdom of Morocco, involving delegations from the High State Council and the House of Representatives. We take note of the joint statement issued by the participants at the end of the meeting as well as their plan to resume the dialogue later this month.

We also welcome the talks in Montreux, Switzerland with key Libyan stakeholders, which were facilitated by the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue. Building on these and other consultations, the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) will launch the arrangements needed to resume the fully inclusive Libyan Political Dialogue Forum, which last met in Geneva in February 2020.  The United Nations calls upon the international community to support this process.
