TRIPOLI, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- Libyan army officers have reached an agreement for the future head of state to be the supreme commander of the armed forces, Libyan eastern-based army spokesmanon said Wednesday.

Ahmad Mismari told a news conference in Benghazi on Wednesday that army officers gathered in Cairo, have unanimously agreed that the country's future head of state is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, confirming that the agreement was "a result of previous dialogue meetings of army officers."

Mismari also revealed that a meeting between army officers will be held in Cairo, without specifying the date of the meeting.

"The Libyan people suffer from the state's destroyed institutions. We say to the people that the military institution will unite for the benefit of the country, and that no party should be held responsible for failure due to interference of the army in the political dialogue," Mismari said.

The announcement came following adoption of UN-proposed amendment of the Libya political agreement by the eastern-based Parliament on Tuesday.
