Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has warned that achieving stability in Libya remains a difficult and distant objective, stressing that the country’s crisis can only be resolved through a peaceful political settlement led by Libyans themselves.
Speaking during press remarks, Tajani emphasized the importance of avoiding foreign interference in Libya, arguing that external interventions have repeatedly complicated efforts to restore stability and unify the country’s institutions.
The Italian minister stated that Italy remains prepared to support mediation efforts and facilitate dialogue between Libyan parties. However, he acknowledged that the current political and security situation continues to present major obstacles to any lasting settlement.
Tajani warned that prolonged instability in Libya carries direct consequences for Italy and the wider Mediterranean region, particularly in areas related to migration, regional security, and economic cooperation.
Italy has maintained an active diplomatic role in Libya for years, supporting United Nations-led political initiatives while engaging with rival Libyan institutions in both eastern and western parts of the country. Rome has repeatedly stressed the importance of preserving Libya’s sovereignty, territorial unity, and institutional stability.
The latest remarks come as Libya continues to face political deadlock, competing power centers, and recurring security tensions despite ongoing international diplomatic efforts aimed at reviving the political process and preparing for national elections.
