Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and his Greek counterpart Giorgos Gerapetritis have stressed the urgent need for simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections in Libya.

The call came during a phone conversation between the two ministers, as confirmed in a statement by Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The discussion focused on the latest developments in Libya, with both sides expressing deep concern over the ongoing political stalemate and insecurity. The ministers highlighted the importance of conducting inclusive elections without delay, underlining that simultaneous polls are essential for ensuring legitimacy and unity in the Libyan political process.

Abdelatty and Gerapetritis also reiterated the need to dismantle all militias and ensure the withdrawal of foreign forces, foreign fighters, and mercenaries from Libyan territory. They described this as a fundamental step towards achieving lasting peace and stability in the country.

The ministers agreed that Libya’s sovereignty must be respected and that a Libyan-led political solution is the only viable path forward. They emphasised their commitment to supporting the efforts of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) and the work of the UN Special Envoy in facilitating a consensual political roadmap.

The call reflects growing regional concern over the stagnation of Libya’s electoral process and the continued presence of armed groups backed by foreign powers. While diplomatic initiatives have multiplied, the timeline for elections remains uncertain due to disagreements among key Libyan institutions and actors.

Egypt and Greece have consistently coordinated their positions on Libya, calling for international support to prioritise disarmament, political unification, and the removal of foreign influence from the country.
