Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has reiterated his commitment to strengthening bilateral relations with Libya. In a message sent to the Head of the Libyan Presidential Council, Mohamed al-Mnifi, Tebboune extended his congratulations to the Libyan people on the occasion of Eid al-Adha.
Tebboune reaffirmed Algeria’s support for a peaceful resolution to the Libyan crisis through dialogue. He emphasised his keen desire to continue working together to enhance the bonds of brotherhood and solidarity, according to a statement from al-Menfi’s media office.
Tebboune also expressed his hopes for the Libyan people to achieve their aspirations for security, stability, and development. He underscored Algeria’s ongoing commitment to supporting Libya in overcoming its challenges and achieving peace.
Last month, Algerian Prime Minister Nadir Larbaoui discussed the latest developments in Libya and ways to enhance bilateral relations with Libyan Presidential Council Deputy, Musa Al-Koni.
The meeting took place on the sidelines of Larbaoui’s representation of Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune at the 15th Islamic Summit Conference of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Gambia.
Al-Koni expressed appreciation for Algeria’s continued support for efforts to reach a sustainable political solution that preserves Libya’s unity, sovereignty, and fulfills the aspirations of the Libyan people for security and stability. Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune called for continued efforts to spare Libya from escalating external interventions.
In March, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, Tunisian President Kais Saied, and Libyan Presidential Council Head Mohamed al-Mnifi underscored the importance of unifying positions, consultation, and coordination to strengthen security in the region.
This came in a joint statement issued at the conclusion of the consultative meeting between the three leaders. The statement reaffirmed the commitment of the three North African countries to national sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs.
The leaders also firmly rejected foreign interventions in Libyan affairs and pledged support for efforts leading to elections.
The statement emphasised the pivotal role of Libya’s neighbouring countries in supporting authorities’ reconstruction and stability efforts.
Furthermore, they condemned the violations, crimes, and genocide committed against the people of Gaza, renewing the urgent call for an immediate cessation of Israeli aggression.
