OPEN// Egypt reaffirms support for UN-led political solution in Libya
CAIRO, April 11 (MENA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty met on Friday with his Tunisian counterpart Mohamed Ali Nafti and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) Hanna Tetteh.
The meeting was held on the sidelines of Abdelatty's participation in the Antalya Diplomacy Forum.
During the meeting, the top diplomat emphasized the importance of the Libyan situation for Egypt's national security and interests, given that Libya is a direct neighboring country.
He affirmed Egypt's support for United Nations efforts to initiate a political process aimed at resolving the crisis in Libya.
Abdelatty stressed Egypt's efforts to support an intra-Libyan solution without foreign interference, or bypassing the role of Libyan national institutions, based on the reference of the Skhirat Agreement, leading to the simultaneous holding of presidential and parliamentary elections.
He also underlined the importance of respecting Libya's sovereignty and territorial integrity, keeping it away from foreign interference, and the need for international efforts to enforce relevant UN resolutions calling for the withdrawal of all foreign forces, mercenaries, and foreign fighters from Libya, in a way that contributes to restoring security and stability.
