U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will go to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for a meeting of the Libya contact group next Monday, said the State Department on Tuesday.
"This meeting will build on the last Contact Group meeting held in Rome and will allow the United States to discuss with its international partners the range of issues with respect to addressing the situation in Libya, including the ongoing implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1970 and 1973," said department spokesman Mark Toner in a statement.
After the meeting, Clinton will also travel to Zambia, Tanzania and Ethiopia, according to the statement.
While opening a consulate in the Libyan opposition base of Benghazi, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said on Tuesday that the unfreezing of the Libyan assets to the opposition will be discussed in UAE in early June.
On March 13, diplomats met in Qatar's capital Doha for the first round meeting of the Libya contact group.
