Libya’s warring parties have returned to the negotiating table in hopes of brokering a permanent cease-fire, the United Nations mission in the country said today.  

The UN Mission in Libya said “productive” talks have been held during which the delegations discussed “the latest developments on the ground and to receive their comments on the draft cease-fire agreement.” The mission held the first set of talks with the Libyan National Army on June 3 and the second set with the UN-recognized Government of National Accord on Tuesday. Both sets of talks were conducted via remote connections.
