Ageela Saleh & Egyptian President Dicsuss Libya's Unity & Political Solution
On Saturday, Libya's Parliament Speaker Ageela Saleh met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in Cairo to discuss the ongoing political crisis in Libya and efforts to restore stability. Both leaders stressed their shared commitment to preserving Libya's unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. The meeting, attended by Hamid Al-Safi, political advisor to the Libyan Parliament, and Egypt's Intelligence Chief Major General Hassan Rashad, focused on finding a comprehensive political settlement to Libya's crisis. Both sides highlighted the need for urgent presidential and parliamentary elections to end the country's prolonged transitional phase. President El-Sisi reaffirmed Egypt's unwavering support for Libya's national institutions and reiterated Cairo's consistent position that Libya's political and security stability is deeply connected to Egypt's own national interests. He called for intensified efforts to unify Libya's fragmented political bodies and enable the Libyan people to choose their leaders through fair, inclusive elections. El-Sisi also emphasized the necessity of removing all foreign forces and mercenaries from Libyan territory without delay. He stressed that their continued presence undermines Libya's sovereignty and prevents the restoration of full security and state authority across the country. The departure of foreign troops, he said, is essential for Libya's institutions to operate independently and for the nation to regain control of its own future. Additionally, President El-Sisi expressed Egypt's strong interest in contributing to Libya's post-conflict reconstruction. He offered Egyptian technical expertise and resources to support Libya's economic recovery, infrastructure development, and long-term growth. In response, Ageela Saleh expressed deep appreciation for Egypt's steadfast role in supporting Libya's unity and stability. He commended Egypt's historic relationship with Libya and praised President El-Sisi for his leadership in promoting dialogue and political reconciliation. Saleh described Egypt's backing as a key foundation for helping Libya navigate its transition and move toward national elections. Tags: EgyptEgyptian PresidentlibyaParliament Speaker

27 Egyptian Firms Take Part in 2025 'Libya Build' Expo
Twenty-seven Egyptian companies are set to take part in the 17th edition of the Libya Build Exhibition, held in Tripoli from May 12 to 15, 2025. The participation marks a significant move to strengthen bilateral economic ties between Egypt and Libya, especially in the field of chemical and construction industries. The event will host exhibitors from nine countries, including Italy, Turkey, France, Germany, Malta, Tunisia, Austria, China, and Egypt, with the Egyptian pavilion covering 436 square meters. Khaled Abu El Makarem, Chairman of Egypt's Export Council for Chemical Industries and Fertilizers, stated that this participation reflects Egypt's growing commitment to deepening its economic presence in the Libyan market. He noted that the Libya Build platform serves as a strategic gateway for Egyptian companies to expand exports, build sustainable partnerships, and respond to the increasing demand for Egyptian chemical products, renowned for their quality and competitive pricing. Abu El Makarem highlighted Libya as a vital export destination, calling the exhibition a key opportunity to support Egypt's national strategy for increasing non-oil exports. 'Libya Build helps us bring Egyptian products to the forefront in a neighboring market with high commercial potential,' he added. Executive Director of the Council, Mohamed Magid, emphasized the importance of the event in opening new markets and expanding Egypt's economic footprint in North Africa. He reported a strong performance of Egyptian chemical exports to Libya during 2024, with plastic exports reaching $103 million, inks and paints $94 million, detergents $36 million, various chemical products $15 million, glass $13 million, and fertilizers $11 million. The exhibition will showcase a range of sectors including pipes, paints, insulation materials, sanitary ware, construction chemicals, electrical components, and timber products—providing ample opportunity for Egyptian companies to connect with Libyan counterparts and regional buyers.
