Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry has stressed the importance of promoting a Libyan-led solution to the country’s crisis.

In a statement released by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Shoukry conveyed this message during a meeting with Comfort Ero, President of the International Crisis Group.

Shoukry emphasised that a Libyan-led process is essential for progressing towards presidential and parliamentary elections.

He also called for the withdrawal of foreign troops and mercenaries from Libya within a specified timeframe to maintain the country’s unity, sovereignty, and stability.

The Egyptian minister highlighted Egypt’s ongoing efforts to bridge the gaps between Libyan factions, aiming to reinforce the Libyan-led resolution process.

He concluded by underlining the need to respect Libya’s elected institutions to achieve simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections.

In May, Shoukry met with Musa Al-Koni, the Deputy Head of Libya’s Presidential Council, during the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit in The Gambia.

Shoukry expressed Egypt’s commitment to supporting the Libyan Presidential Council and maintaining unity. Egypt reiterated its continuous support for the Libyan political process and efforts to reconcile viewpoints.

Shoukry highlighted the importance of Libyan institutions and dialogue facilitated by the Arab League between the Libyan Parliament and the High Council of State (HCS). The aim is to reach an agreement on simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections under a unified government.

The meeting addressed the need to resolve militias and withdraw foreign forces from Libya, based on relevant Security Council resolutions and the outcomes of the Paris and Berlin processes.

Shoukry and Al-Koni agreed to continue joint coordination and high-level visits to promote stability in Libya.

Al-Koni praised Egypt’s supportive role and its commitment to the stability of Libya, recognising Cairo’s significant contribution to resolving the Libyan crisis and its dedication to providing comprehensive support to Libya.
