Qatar has expressed its deep concern over the developments in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and called on all parties involved to avoid escalation, exercise maximum restraint, heed the voice of reason, pursue dialogue to overcome differences, and spare civilians the consequences of the fighting.
In a statement Tuesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed Qatar's full support for the efforts made by United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) to achieve peace and stability in the country.
The Ministry also renewed Qatar's full support for the Libyan political track, the relevant Security Council resolutions, and all peaceful solutions that preserve Libya's unity, stability and sovereignty, and achieve the aspirations of its brotherly people for development and prosperity.
