Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry stressed Friday the importance of bringing foreign interference into Libya’s internal affairs to a halt, freeing Libya from all foreign troops and mercenaries, as well as offering full support to Libyan 5+5 Joint Military Committee (JMC).
During his participation Friday, on behalf of President Abdel Fatah El Sisi, in a meeting of the heads of state and government of the African Union (AU) High-Level Committee meeting on Libya, the foreign minister extended thanks of President Sisi to the participants of the meeting that was chaired by the Congolese president, along with the committee’s efforts in support of political stability in Libya, according to Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ahmed Abou Zaid.
