Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Badr Abdelatty, met on Thursday with the Acting Special Representative of the United Nations in Libya, Stephanie Khoury, to discuss enhancing cooperation aimed at resolving the Libyan crisis through a purely Libyan-led political process.
During the meeting, Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt's ongoing commitment to supporting Libyan parties in preserving state institutions and ensuring the simultaneous holding of both presidential and parliamentary elections.
He emphasized the critical importance of the withdrawal of foreign forces and mercenaries according to a well-defined timeline, highlighting that such measures are essential for safeguarding Libya's territorial integrity, security, and stability.
Libya continues to face severe instability, exacerbated by the involvement of multiple foreign actors. Countries such as Russia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have been playing significant roles in the internal dynamics of Libya, further complicating efforts toward achieving lasting peace and stability.
Given Libya's volatile situation, Egypt remains particularly concerned about stability along its western border. The ongoing conflict in Libya poses security risks that could directly impact Egypt's national security. Therefore, Egypt's diplomatic engagement is driven by a strategic imperative to secure its borders and promote a stable and unified Libyan state.
Abdelatty reiterated Egypt's support for an inclusive dialogue that would pave the way for sustainable peace and development in Libya, free from external interference.

Germany pledged a further 20 million euros ($23.6 million) to Sudan this year, the development ministry said on Wednesday, ahead of an international aid conference hosted in Berlin that is aiming to gather more than $1 billion in funding commitments.
Two arms brokers arranged illegal deals to supply ex-Soviet surface-to-air missile systems to South Sudan and fighter jets to Libya during its civil war, British prosecutors told a London court on Tuesday.
