Al Nuhayyan said that they decided to hold the third meeting in the United Arab Emirates and the fourth in Turkey.
Meanwhile, Frattini told a news conference that Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu called for a cease-fire in Libya within seven days.
"The United Nations has confirmed its objective for a cease-fire as soon as possible, and Turkey's Foreign Minister Davutoglu has suggested the target. Minister Davutoglu spoke of a very ambitious objective, a cease-fire within seven days," Frattini said.
