TRIPOLI, June 7 (Xinhua) -- The head of the Libyan Higher Council of State Khaled al-Meshri announced on Thursday his readiness to visit the eastern-based House of Representatives (parliament) and meet with the Speaker Agila Saleh in order to reach a solution to the political crisis in the country.
"We inform you that the presidency of the Higher Council of State will preside a delegation of 30 members from all the constituencies to visit the city of Tubrug, in order to each effective solutions," Al-Meshri said in a letter addressed to Saleh on Thursday.
He expressed confidence that the meeting would be "more successful than previous meetings" in bringing together the views of the Council and the House of Representatives.
"We leave you the choice of a date you deem appropriate. We are ready to be guests to the brothers and the partners of the nation," Al-Meshri said.
Al-Meshri praised the Parliament Speaker's keenness on "ending the division between the country's partners and moving towards stability."
Al-Meshri's call comes a few days after a meeting was held in France's Paris that gathered the Libyan political parties in order to put an end to the political division in the country.
The rival Libyan factions also agreed at the meeting to hold "credible" presidential and parliamentary elections on Dec. 10, according to a communique issued after the one-day conference.
In a joint statement, the UN-backed Prime Minister Fayez Serraj, head of the Libyan High Council of State Khalid al-Meshri, the eastern-based Parliament Speaker Agila Saleh, and the eastern-based army commander Khalifa Haftar pledged "to work constructively with the UN to hold credible and peaceful elections and to respect election results."
The North African country has been struggling for seven years to make a democratic transition. It suffers a political division with two rival parliaments and governments battling to legitimacy.
Ghassan Salame, the UN special envoy to Libya, proposed an action plan in September 2017 to end the Libya political crisis, which includes holding presidential and parliamentary elections before the end of 2018.
