The Head of Presidential Council, Mohammed Menfi, discussed with the US Acting Assistant Secretary of State, Joey Hood, boosting ceasefire and national reconciliation in Libya, in addition to bilateral relations and the roadmap of the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum.

The meeting Tuesday in Tripoli was attended by the US special envoy and ambassador to Libya, Richard Norland, as well as a number of US State Department officials, in the highest level diplomatic visit to Tripoli since 2014, according to the State Department's statement.

The statement said the visit to Tripoli showed Washington's commitment to supporting Libyans and the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum and supporting the progress the Libyan people have made towards an inclusive, negotiated, political solution, in addition to backing up the interim Government of National Unity as it takes the necessary steps toward ensuring free and fair elections in December.
