Egypt has welcomed the announcement by Special Representative of the UN Secretary General for Libya and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) Hanna Tetteh, regarding the adoption of a roadmap for resolving the Libyan crisis, particularly the formation of an interim government tasked with preparing for national elections in Libya within a specified period ranging between 12-18 months.
In a statement issued on Saturday, the Foreign Ministry emphasized the importance of adhering to this timeline as a crucial step to ensure the credibility of the political process and to meet the aspirations of the Libyan people for realizing stability and development.
The statement underlined that a sound electoral path must lead to the holding of presidential and parliamentary elections simultaneously, alongside unifying Libyan institutions under a new, unified government.
Egypt reaffirmed its full support for UN efforts aimed at restoring security and stability in Libya, in a manner that safeguards the country’s unity and sovereignty.
