The activities of Libya’s neighboring countries’ meeting kicked off earlier Thursday, in Algeria, with the participation of Egypt’s Foreign (FM) Minister Sameh Shoukry, as well as Tunisia, Sudan, Tchad, Niger, and Mali FMs.

The meeting aims at strengthening coordination and consultations among Libya's neighboring countries and international actors in order to push Libyans towards the political settlement of the crisis via comprehensive dialogue among the country's warring factions.

The gathering will also review the recent developments in Libya in light of the efforts exerted by Algeria towards resolving the Libyan crisis away from any foreign interference.

Moreover, the top diplomats will exchange views on the future steps to be followed in light of the outcomes of the Berlin conference.

It is worth mentioning that, an international conference on Libya was recently held in Germany's capital Berlin in an attempt to pave the way for a lasting settlement in war-torn Libya.

Participants in the Berlin conference agreed on limiting foreign interference in Libya and continuing the arms embargo on the North African country,  pressing for launching a new political process that puts an end to the ongoing conflict.

The attending parties affirmed their commitment to supporting the Libyan people in their endeavors to address all problems related to government structure and security.
