Cairo: EgyPulse – News Desk
The foreign ministers of Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia called on all Libyan parties to actively engage in the political settlement process, urging them to prioritize wisdom, dialogue, and the higher interests of the country.
A final statement after a tripartite meeting for the foreign ministers in Algeria on Thursday also called for achieving comprehensive national reconciliation with the participation of all Libyan components. The meeting underlined support of a peaceful political settlement under the auspices of the United Nations, including the proposed UN roadmap.
Libyan-led, Libyan-owned
The ministers emphasized the principle of Libyan ownership and leadership in the political settlement process, affirming the Libyan people’s role in shaping their future and safeguarding the country’s unity, independence, and institutions. Highlighting the link between security and development, the ministers noted that both pillars are essential for comprehensive stability in Libya.
They stressed that restoring security, building effective institutions, and promoting economic and social development are key to overcoming divisions and consolidating national unity, paving the way for Libya’s stability and prosperity.
The statement also reaffirmed the countries’ rejection of external interference in Libya’s internal affairs, identifying foreign involvement as a major factor prolonging the crisis and deepening political and institutional divisions.
The ministers called for the withdrawal of mercenaries and foreign fighters and the maintenance of the ceasefire, and urged support for the work of the Joint Military Committee, and the reunification of Libya’s military and security institutions.
The foreign ministers underlined the need for continued coordination with the United Nations, the Arab League, and the African Union on all initiatives that fulfil the interests of the Libyan people.
UN Roadmap
The United Nations outlined a roadmap on 21 August 2025 to advance a Libyan-led and Libyan-owned political process aimed at ending the transitional period and unifying Libya’s institutions.
The plan sets a framework for free, fair, transparent, and inclusive presidential and legislative elections in line with UN Security Council resolution 2755 (2024), to be implemented over an 18-month period.
In parallel, the roadmap calls for a structured dialogue with Libyan institutional stakeholders and the people of Libya, ensuring that political progress reflects the will of the population.
The initiative forms the basis for regional and international efforts, including those by Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia, to support national reconciliation, stability, and development.
