Cairo: The foreign ministers of Egypt, Tunisia, and Algeria held a meeting in Cairo on Saturday to discuss the latest developments in Libya and push for a political solution. In their final statement, the ministers reiterated their call for all Libyan parties to exercise maximum restraint and immediately cease escalation, ensuring the safety of the brotherly Libyan people.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the statement emphasized the importance of upholding the interests of the brotherly Libyan people, preserving their capabilities and property, and achieving consensus among all Libyan parties, under the supervision and support of the United Nations and with the backing of neighboring countries, leading to an end to the division and moving forward with the political process in Libya toward unifying institutions and holding simultaneous parliamentary and presidential elections.

The statement detailed the ministers' stress on the need to expedite a solution to the Libyan crisis and end the political division to avoid further escalation, the spread of violence and terrorism, and the widening of the conflict.

The statement also highlighted "the necessity of pure Libyan ownership of the political process in Libya and the necessity for the political solution to be Libyan-owned and stem from the will and consensus of all components of the brotherly Libyan people, with the support and backing of the United Nations, and in a manner that takes into account the interests of the brotherly Libyan people without exclusion."

Furthermore, the statement rejected "all forms of foreign interference in Libya, which would fuel internal tensions and prolong the Libyan crisis, thus threatening security and stability in Libya and neighboring countries."

The foreign ministers agreed to "continue coordination between the three countries and the United Nations to assess the situation in Libya and exchange views on the future of the Libyan political landscape and how to cooperate to achieve security, stability, and development in the region."
