“The two sides agreed on several common stances ahead of halting mutual fighting in Libya,” the sources said. “They initially agreed to form a national agreement government and carry out parliamentarian elections.”
According to the sources, the meetings were friendly and included food and beverages. The sources also said that the two sides agreed to hold similar meetings in Libya very soon.
