Egypt's Foreign Minister (FM) Sameh Shoukry met on Monday UN Special Envoy to Libya Jan Kubis, on the sidelines of Foreign Ministers (FMs) meeting of Libya's neighboring countries, hosted in Algeria.

 

During the meeting, they discussed ways to achieve a comprehensive political settlement that preserves the capabilities of the Libyan people and meets their aspirations for stability and development.

 

It is worth mentioning that, Shoukry headed on Sunday to Algeria to participate in the meeting of foreign ministers of Libya’s neighboring countries, which will be held on August 30-31, at the invitation of  Algeria.

Egypt’s participation in the meeting stems from Cairo’s constant keenness to support the Libyan people and to enhance all efforts aimed at achieving a comprehensive political settlement of the situation in Libya.

The meeting is expected to consolidate the pillars of the Libyan state and the unification of its various national institutions, in accordance with the road map, including holding elections on December 24th; as well as ensuring the withdrawal of all foreign forces, mercenaries, and foreign fighters, from Libya, in order to achieve the aspirations of the Libyan people for stability and prosperity.

On the sidelines of the visit, the Minister of Foreign Affairs will hold bilateral meetings with a number of his counterparts participating in the meeting.
