BERLIN (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 24th January, 2020) German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday said that the conflict in Libya has subsided since the Moscow meeting between the leader of the Libyan National Army (LNA), Khalifa Haftar and the head of Government of National Accord (GNA), Fayez Sarraj in Russia and urged the military committee, agreed upon during the Berlin conference, to convene as soon as possible.
