There was near global consensus in welcoming the moves by the two Libyan rivals, with calls to seize the moment and try to move the peace process forward. Several key countries involved in bringing peace to the troubled country, as well as the UN, Arab League and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), lauded the cease-fire initiative. In a statement issued on Friday, the GCC called on all parties in Libya to �adhere to this constructive step� and to urgently engage in political dialogue, through UN mediation, �toward reaching a permanent and comprehensive solution to end the conflict in Libya and achieve security and stability.
