Italy and the international
community are to back the creation of a regular army in Libya as
part of stabilisation efforts, Premier Giuseppe Conte told a
conference on the north African country on Tuesday.
Stressing the need to overcome the current situation of
warring armed groups, he said "the international community will
be able to express concrete support for the creation and
deployment of regular security forces".
Conte added that Italy will do its part, also as regards
"technical assistance, also on the level of training".
He said "we will have to make sure that...the spirit of
Palermo, as I like to call it, will not be exhausted here and
now, but turn into a concrete commitment to bring forward the
agenda with constancy and determination".
