Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi met in Cairo with the Speaker of the Libyan House of Representatives (HoR), Aqila Saleh, on Saturday, in a meeting attended by the head of Egyptian intelligence, Hassan Rashad. According to a statement by Presidential Spokesman Mohamed El-Shennawy, President El-Sisi emphasized the need to unify efforts to reach a comprehensive political settlement in Libya. He stressed that such a resolution must enable the holding of simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections as soon as possible, in a way that meets the Libyan people's aspirations for stability, security, and a dignified life. The meeting addressed the latest developments in the Libyan arena, with El-Sisi reiterating Egypt's firm and consistent support for Libya and its national institutions, stressing the importance of preserving Libya's sovereignty and territorial integrity. El-Sisi stressed Egypt's commitment to continuing its efforts and coordination with all Libyan stakeholders and relevant international parties, based on the belief that Libya's political and security stability is an integral part of Egypt's own stability. He also underscored the necessity of the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Libya to enhance security and empower Libyan institutions to carry out their role in consolidating stability across the entire country. HoR Speaker Saleh expressed his appreciation for the historic and brotherly ties between Egypt and Libya, and for President El-Sisi's role—as well as that of Egyptian institutions—in supporting Libya's unity and the cohesion of its national institutions. He reaffirmed that this support is a fundamental pillar for restoring security and stability and for managing the transitional phase toward the upcoming electoral milestones, according to the Egyptian statement.
