Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Kuwaiti Amir Sheikh Meshaal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah stressed the need to respect the sovereignty of the State of Libya and reject all kinds of external interference in its affairs.
The two leaders issued a joint statement on the occasion of the Kuwaiti emir’s visit to Egypt on Tuesday, in which they stressed the importance of supporting Libyan national efforts within the framework of the principle of exclusive Libyan ownership of a political settlement.
The joint statement praised the efforts of the Libyan legislative authority and its approval of electoral laws in the context of fulfilling all the necessary frameworks to hold presidential and parliamentary elections as soon as possible in accordance with previous agreements and references.
In the statement, Sisi and Al-Sabah stressed the need for all foreign forces, fighters, and mercenaries to leave Libya, disband militias, and reunify military and security institutions, in accordance with agreed principles and adopted international resolutions.
