"We will sustain our efforts to fulfill the United Nations mandate. We will keep up the pressure to see it through," the NATO statement said.
In late March, the alliance took over the Western operations in Libya with a 90-day military plan, enforcing arms embargo, no-fly zone and carrying out air strikes to protect civilians.
In recent days, NATO has stepped up its air campaign in Libya. However, Gaddafi is still clinging to power and has shown no signs of stepping down.
