GCC demands foreign troops leave Libya
BY Libyan Express Jun 06, 2025 - 15:25 Gulf states support Libya-led solution. Photo via Getty The Gulf Cooperation Council has renewed its call for the immediate withdrawal of all foreign forces and mercenaries from Libya while maintaining support for a Libyan-led political solution. Following the 164th ministerial session, the GCC issued a statement emphasizing respect for Libya's sovereignty and adherence to UN Security Council resolutions. The council said external interference in Libya's internal affairs must cease. The statement urged all Libyan factions to prioritise dialogue and national unity, describing political negotiation as the only viable method to resolve the country's divisions. Libya has been split between rival administrations since 2014. The GCC reiterated its support for United Nations efforts to achieve a comprehensive political settlement, including the organisation of presidential and parliamentary elections and the unification of state institutions. The country has not held unified national elections since 2012. The council also acknowledged a recent UN Security Council resolution that permits Libyan institutions to reinvest portions of their frozen assets through international financial institutions. The GCC statement reflects ongoing diplomatic efforts to address Libya's political crisis through multilateral channels rather than military intervention.
