High-ranking officials from Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia are pushing for synchronized presidential and parliamentary elections in Libya as well as an immediate withdrawal of all foreign military contingents and mercenaries from Libya. The senior diplomats, during talks that took place in Algeria’s capital city, stressed that any long-term stability in the region is highly dependent on a common governance framework led by Libya.
This meeting was a follow-up to a trilateral mechanism set up previously to observe and help the process of mediation between neighbors. Foreign ministers of Egypt, Badr Abdelatty; Tunisia, Mohamed Ali Nafti; and Algeria, Ahmed Attaf, agreed that their countries share a common history as well as an interest in overcoming the prolonged security challenges facing the region.
In a joint official communique, the delegations reiterated that successive political transition phases have severely prolonged institutional fragmentation across Libya. They stressed that holding free, fair, and simultaneous national ballots under a mutually agreed constitutional framework remains the only definitive route to establish strong, legitimate state institutions. Furthermore, the ministers strongly condemned all external meddling, labeling foreign interference as a primary driver of ongoing domestic friction.
To ensure a sustainable transition, the foreign ministers highlighted the vital role of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL). They reaffirmed full alignment with the UN-backed roadmap, insisting that comprehensive security reforms must accompany national political dialogue. This includes unifying split military bodies and supporting African Union efforts toward genuine national reconciliation across all Libyan factions.
Discussions also pivoted toward socio-economic safeguards, with the senior officials urging international financial watchdogs to strictly preserve and protect frozen Libyan sovereign assets abroad. They emphasized that national wealth must be properly managed to foster sustainable domestic development. The tripartite alliance committed to maintaining continuous strategic alignment through international platforms, with Tunisia slated to host the upcoming round of ministerial consultations.
