The president called on African countries to pay more attention to combating terrorism in the North African country as it constitutes a threat to the stability and security of the countries neighboring Libya and the African continent as a whole.

Sisi added that Egypt supports the efforts of the AU to solve the Libyan crisis, stressing the importance of achieving complementarity and coordination between the Union, the League of Arab States (AL) and the United Nations (UN) in this regard.
