London: International community to hold a meeting here to discuss the next steps for Libya amid the UN-backed military action.
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said he hoped the meeting of about 40 delegations would ensure “maximum political and diplomatic unity”, UK Prime Minister David Cameron hoped.
In a statement, the UK and France urged supporters of Muammar Gaddafi to “leave him before it is too late”.
The countries’ leaders said his regime had completely lost its legitimacy.
Tuesday’s conference will bring together all members of the coalition in the military operation, as well as the UN, Nato, the African Union and Arab League.
It is hoped the presence of Arab countries Qatar, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco, Lebanon, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates will help to strengthen the alliance behind military action.
But Russia, which says the action has gone beyond the terms of the UN resolution that authorised it, said it would not attend.
The conference will also examine the provision of humanitarian aid.
In a joint statement on Monday, Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy said the conference would “bring the international community together to support Libya’s transition from violent dictatorship and to help create the conditions where the people of Libya can choose their own future”.
