During the talks, President Sisi affirmed Egypt's steadfast strategic position regarding the Libyan crisis, noting that they look forward to achieving stability and security in the North African through urging all Libyan parties to show positive and constructive interaction to the various tracks emanating from the Berlin Conference and the Cairo Declaration.
The Egyptian President stressed the importance of holding presidential and parliamentary elections that will help in outlining the start of a new phase for the Libyan people towards maintaining peace and stability and ending the chaos of the spread of terrorist groups.
On his part, the British Prime Minister praised the tangible Egyptian efforts aim to settle the Libyan crisis.
During the phone talks, the Egyptian and British sides agreed on continuing consultation and joint coordination in this regard.
Libya descended into chaos when a NATO-backed uprising in 2011 toppled long-time ruler, Muammar Gaddafi. The instability has led the country to become a major transit point for illegal migrants to Europe.
