The UN-sponsored dialogue between Libya's warring factions paused on Saturday, allowing time for representatives from rival parties to consult on plans to solve the ongoing crisis.
He did not disclose a specific date for the next round of talks.
During the talks in the last few days, the UN worked as a mediator and shuttled between Libya's different groups, trying to persuade them into forming a unity government.
On Saturday, the different factions met face to face for the first time and held a symbolic meeting.
The representatives have headed back to Libya and will elaborate on the new proposals to different groups.
Libya has been witnessing frayed political process since the 2011 turmoil, which toppled its former leader Muammar Gaddafi, and it is now juggling two rival parliaments, the secular House of Representatives and the Islamist-backed General National Congress.

CAIRO, March 27 (Reuters) - Libya, struggling with militant attacks and two governments vying for control of the country, has boosted oil production to around 622,000 barrels a day (bpd), a report from state firm NOC said, higher than previously expected.
The North African oil producer has managed to bring fields in western Libya and eastern ports back online despite militant attacks and fighting between rival factions allied to the two competing governments in recent weeks.
Oil production has risen to 622,286 bpd, a report from Libya's National Oil Corporation in Tripoli said, a copy of which was seen by Reuters on Friday. Industry sources had last reported output to be less than 500,000 bpd.
Libya's gas production is 2.05 billion cubic feet a day, the report said.
The biggest contributor to output is the eastern Arabian Gulf Oil Co (AGOCO), with main assets the Sarir and Messla fields feeding Hariga port, currently the main export terminal.
Italy's Eni is pumping 203,364 bpd, the report said. The company managed to resume production at the western El Feel and Wafa fields and also has offshore production. It put Eni's gas output at 1.66 billion cubic feet.
Sirte Oil Co is pumping 71,129 bpd, the report said. The company is using the eastern Brega port to supply the western Zawiya refinery. Its gas output was 377 million cubic feet.
The eastern Zueitina Oil Co is producing 11,275 bpd, the report said, and the Harouge Oil Operations firm is pumping 17,474 bpd. Both feed the Zueitina port, which was recently reopened following strikes and technical delays.
Libya's oil production is less than half what the country used to pump before a 2011 uprising toppled Muammar Gaddafi.
