Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf has announced preparations for the third trilateral summit involving Algeria, Libya, and Tunisia, set to take place in Tripoli at the start of January 2025.
Speaking at a press conference reviewing Algeria's diplomatic achievements in 2024, Attaf highlighted ongoing coordination efforts with Libya and Tunisia to ensure the summit’s success. He emphasized that the trilateral mechanism, proposed by Algeria, aims to address shared challenges and has already resulted in tangible cooperation projects among the three nations.
The initiative was launched in February during the first summit in Algiers, held on the sidelines of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum. The second meeting, hosted by Tunisia in April, brought together Libyan Presidential Council leader Mohamed Menfi, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, and Tunisian President Kais Saied.
Key outcomes of the previous summits include a commitment to reject foreign interference in Libya, support for elections to stabilize the country, and agreements to expedite projects like electrical grid interconnection, free trade zones, and streamlined movement of goods and people.
The upcoming Tripoli summit is expected to build on these efforts, fostering deeper regional cooperation and addressing pressing issues affecting the three nations.
