Libya regional diplomatic coordination

Foreign ministers from Algeria, Egypt, and Tunisia, acting through the Tripartite Mechanism, have coordinated their positions regarding the ongoing Libyan crisis. In meetings held in Algiers, the ministers issued joint statements emphasizing a categorical rejection of all forms of foreign interference, identifying external intervention as a primary cause of prolonged division.

The group called for the immediate withdrawal of all foreign forces, mercenaries, and fighters from Libyan territory. They advocated for a Libyan-led political process facilitated by the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) to achieve national consensus. This process aims to unify military and security institutions to enable simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections.

Furthermore, the ministers stressed the necessity of national reconciliation and the protection of Libya’s economic resources. They specifically called for the safeguarding of frozen Libyan financial assets held abroad—estimated by officials to be worth approximately $200 billion—to ensure they are managed by international financial institutions in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions.
