Egypt’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Co-operation and Egyptian Expatriates, Badr Abdelatty, has reaffirmed his country’s support for the ongoing efforts aimed at advancing the political process in Libya.
Abdelatty held talks on Sunday with the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Libya and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) Hanna Tetteh.
The meeting, held at the Egyptian Embassy in Tripoli, addressed the UN’s ongoing efforts to move the political process forward in Libya, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ambassador Nader Zaki said.
Abdelatty reiterated Egypt’s unwavering position supporting a political solution through an inclusive dialogue led by the Libyans themselves, based on broad national consensus and in accordance with the established references for a settlement, foremost among them the Skhirat Agreement, without external dictates.
He stressed that such efforts should lead to a political settlement that preserves Libya’s unity, safeguards its state institutions and ensures their unification.
For her part, the UN envoy praised the close co-operation between Egypt and the UN mission, expressing the United Nations’ eagerness to continue coordination with Cairo to ensure the success of the political track and consolidate the foundations of peace and security across Libya.
