Gulf Cooperation Council Calls for Withdrawal of Foreign Forces from Libya

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has called for the withdrawal of all foreign forces and mercenaries from Libyan territory.

In its 157th ministerial session, the council emphasised the need to ensure Libya’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity, and to halt any interference in its internal affairs.

It also highlighted the importance of safeguarding the interests of the Libyan people, and achieving security, stability, and development in the country.

The GCC reiterated its support for the efforts of UN Special Envoy, Abdoulaye Bathily to “reach a political solution, conduct elections, and unify state institutions. This is to fulfil the aspirations of the Libyan people and establish the pillars of security and stability.”

Expressing concern over the armed clashes in Tripoli, the GCC urged Libyan parties to “exercise restraint, pursue de-escalation, and prioritise the highest national interests.”

It affirmed the necessity of “preserving the ceasefire agreement and preventing the outbreak of a new wave of violence.”

In June, the GCC applauded the consensus reached by Libya’s 6+6 Joint Committee on the Presidential and Parliamentary election laws.

In its 156th session, the GCC described this consensus as “a positive and constructive step, setting the stage for the upcoming Presidential and Parliamentary elections in Libya.” The council reaffirmed its commitment to the well-being of the Libyan people.

It emphasised the council’s “commitment to preserving the interests of the Libyan people, ensuring the nation’s security, stability, and development, and safeguarding Libya’s sovereignty, independence, and territorial unity.” It reiterated the necessity of “halting foreign interference in Libya’s affairs,” and called for the withdrawal of all foreign forces and mercenaries from Libyan soil.

The statement further expressed support for Bathily in “working towards a political resolution, conducting elections, unifying state institutions, and fulfilling the aspirations of the Libyan people for security and stability.”
