Sisi Reaffirms to Menfi Egypt's Full Support to Libya

On Monday, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi received President of the Presidency Council of Libya Mohamed Al-Menfi at Al-Ittihadiya Palace and discussed boosting Cairo-Tripoli Relations and recent developments of Libyan file, according to Presidency Spokesperson Bassam Rady.

The meeting was held in the presence of Minister of Foreign Affairs Sameh Shoukry, Head of the General Intelligence Service Abbas Kamel, as well as Libya’s Permanent Representative to the League of Arab States Ambassador Abdulmutallab Idris.

During the meeting, Sisi affirmed Egypt’s full support for all that would achieve Libya’s supreme interests, support the free will of its people, and preserve its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

On his part, Al-Menfi praised the vital Egyptian role and the tireless, earnest efforts led by the president to restore security and stability in Libya and unify state institutions, especially the Libyan National Army (LNA), in integration with the efforts made by the 5+5 Libyan Joint Military Commission.

He also presented the overall current internal political situation in Libya; it was agreed to intensify consultation and coordination between the two sides during the coming period. Hence, they could follow up on developments in the political process and procedures for managing the transitional phase in a way that helps restore Libya’s stability and unify its institutions and ensures that the Libyan people gain complete control over the country’s capabilities.

It’s noteworthy that Sisi discussed last February with Al Menfi in the Belgian capital, Brussels, the recent developments in the file. “Sisi affirmed Egypt’s full support for the current political path to settling the Libyan crisis in all bilateral, regional and international forums,” said Rady.

The president also stressed Cairo’s keenness to strengthen close coordination with the Tripoli side during the current period in order to activate the free will of the brotherly people.

On his part, Menfi expressed his appreciation for the sincere Egyptian support for his country within the framework of the extended and fraternal relations linking the two countries and peoples.
