Egypt, Algeria & Tunisia Reaffirm Support for Libyan-Led Political Settlement
The foreign ministers of Egypt, Algeria and Tunisia — Badr Abdelatty, Ahmed Attaf and Mohamed Ali Nafti — met in Algeria for a ministerial session of the Tripartite Mechanism of Libya’s Neighboring Countries, aimed at coordinating positions on Libya.
The ministers called for:
a comprehensive political settlement that preserves Libya's unity and unifies state institutions;
simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections as soon as possible, to end the country's prolonged transitional phases;
the immediate withdrawal of foreign forces, mercenaries and foreign fighters from Libya, in line with UN resolutions;
a comprehensive approach tackling the political, security, economic and social roots of the crisis;
stronger protection of Libya's natural resources and frozen financial assets abroad, ensuring they are properly managed and used for the benefit of the Libyan people.
All three countries also underscored the central role of neighbouring states, acting under UN auspices, in supporting Libya's political process and ending its institutional division.
