Bathily called "on all leaders in the east, west, and south to support consolidating peace in Libya," in reference to a national consensus need to conduct presidential and parliamentary elections this year.

The regional leaders agreed with the Military Committee to push the House of Representatives and the High Council panel to pursue the elections. 

The next meeting will occur on April 20 in Benghazi.
