CAIRO- 17 June 2021: Under the directives of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Service Major General Abbas Kamel arrived in Tripoli, Libya, on Thursday to strengthen cooperation relations and support the political process and stability in Libya.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi affirms that his country stands by the Libyan people and their government that seeks to achieve stability for their homeland, said Egyptian Presidency Spokesperson Bassam Radi in a statement on Thursday.
In December 2020, Kamel visited Libya’s Benghazi, where he held meetings with general commander of the Libyan National Army Khalifa Haftar and Libyan Parliament Speaker Aguila Saleh.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Sameh Shokry met Tuesday with his Libyan counterpart Naglaa al-Manqoush on the sidelines of an Arab ministerial meeting in Qatar's Doha.
Both ministers discussed developments on the Libyan scene and congrued on the importance of pushing forward the steps and measures agreed upon within the political process, including holding elections by the end of the year.
Further, Minister Shokry invited the Libyan foreign minister to visit Egypt in the coming days within the framework of consultation between both countries on all levels.
A statement of the foreign ministry asserted Egypt's eagerness on backing Libya to begin a new phase characterized with consensus among Libyans, and a stable state whose internal affairs are not meddled with by foreign states.
