GNU hails neighboring countries' supportive positions for stability in Libya
According to the government platform Hakomitna, Al-Lafi praised the 'positions supportive of stability in Libya' and emphasized the importance of continued coordination and joint cooperation within the framework of regional proximity, to enhance the prospects of advancing the Libyan political process.
He also reaffirmed the GNU's firm stance on the need to empower official state institutions—particularly the police and military—and to dismantle all armed groups operating outside the state framework, citing the involvement of some in grave violations and crimes against humanity.
The meetings concluded with a joint reaffirmation of the importance of continued consultation and coordination in support of Libyan sovereignty and the building of state institutions grounded in law and legitimacy.
The remarks come after Egypt, Tunisia, and Algeria issued a joint statement Saturday calling on all Libyan parties to immediately de-escalate tensions and hold simultaneous parliamentary and presidential elections.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry's statement noted that the three ministers renewed their call for maximum restraint and an immediate halt to escalation, emphasizing the need to safeguard the Libyan people and move forward with the political process aimed at unifying institutions and conducting synchronized national elections.

The Advisory Committee formed by the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) held a meeting on Tuesday with the Joint Committee of the House of Representatives and the High Council of State, known as the 6+6 Committee, which had previously drafted Libya's parliamentary and presidential election laws. The meeting, facilitated by UNSMIL, focused on exchanging ideas for potential amendments that would make the constitutional and legal framework for elections more practical and implementable. UN envoy Hanna Tetteh stressed to both committees the importance of such consultations in reinforcing Libyan ownership of the political process. She has noted that UNSMIL will draw on these discussions as it finalizes the roadmap expected to be unveiled during the upcoming UN Security Council briefing. The two committees resumed their meeting on Wednesday to continue discussing ways to establish a legislative and constitutional environment conducive to holding free and inclusive elections in Libya, according to UNSMIL's statement.
