Egypt and Turkey stressed on Tuesday their “commitment to supporting a political process led and owned by Libyans under the auspices of the United Nations, with the aim of preserving Libya’s political unity, security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.”
This came in a joint statement following consultations between Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aty and his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan in Ankara, according to the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The Egyptian-Turkish statement coincided with the announcement by the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) earlier on Tuesday regarding the formation of an advisory committee as part of its multi-track political initiative presented to the UN Security Council in its December 16 session. UNSMIL said that this committee would hold its first meeting next week in Tripoli.
