The Group of Seven Foreign Ministers renewed their commitment to support Libya to end the protracted conflict and support Libya’s stability, independence, and unity.
The group said in the final statement of their meeting in the Italian city of Capri on Friday that the political stalemate puts Libya at serious risk to third country actors seeking to control Libya’s security, politics, and economy.
The Group appealed to all Libyan political actors to engage in meaningful dialogue in order to break the current impasse and move towards a credible roadmap for free, fair, and inclusive presidential and parliamentary elections without delay.
The Group expressed grave concern about the deteriorating security situation in the Sahel region, noting that the situation is exacerbated by the erosion of the principles of constitutional rule of law, democracy and good governance and the shrinking frameworks for regional cooperation.
The Group of Seven stressed the need to strengthen cooperation with the African Union, regional organizations, and the United Nations to promote stability, security, and development in the Sahel region, and to avoid the spillover of insecurity towards the Gulf of Guinea and North Africa.
The Group of Seven countries in its informal format includes France, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Italy, Canada, and the European Union.
