Algerian Foreign Minister Sabri Boukadoum told visiting envoys from other countries neighboring Libya on Thursday that he hoped their meeting would strengthen a fragile truce in the country and help avert more foreign influence there.

"Libya's neighbors have the responsibility to facilitate a political solution," he added before the start of his meeting with foreign ministers or other officials from
Egypt, Tunisia, Chad, Niger, Sudan and Mali.
Heiko Maas, the foreign minister of
Germany, which hosted a summit on the Libyan crisis on Sunday, also joined the meeting.
