Head of the Libyan National Army Field Marshall Khalifa Heftar has a role to play in the political process and Libyans have to decide what an acceptable compromise looks like, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said.
Jhonson made the remarks during his meeting with Heftar Thursday in Benghazi, as well as members of the House of Representatives representing Benghazi.
This was the first visit by a UK government minister to Benghazi since 2011 and the first time that the Foreign Secretary has met Field Marshall Heftar, the website of the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office reported.
"The Libyan people need a stable state that can meet their fundamental economic and security needs. That requires all sides to compromise and work together. Only a united Libya can defeat the terrorists and smuggling networks who are exploiting the instability," Jhonson added.
"That’s why we are reaching out to all sides in Libya in support of the United Nations work to amend the Libyan Political Agreement so that it delivers for all Libyans."
