International Coalition Reaffirms Support for Libya’s Unity and Stability

Cairo: Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America have collectively reaffirmed their commitment to supporting Libya's pursuit of unity, stability, and prosperity, as well as their aspirations for lasting peace.

According to EMM, the joint statement released by these nations welcomed the United Nations Security Council's decision to extend the mandate of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL). They also expressed support for the roadmap developed by UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) Hanna Tetteh, urging all Libyan stakeholders to use this roadmap and UNSMIL's facilitation to advance a Libyan-led political process toward unified governance and elections.

The statement emphasized the coalition's commitment to supporting increased military and economic coordination between western and eastern Libyan stakeholders. It welcomed Libyan efforts to integrate the country's security forces and urged Libyan leaders to take further steps to expand and institutionalize east-west military coordination and unification.

Furthermore, the statement called for strengthening Libyan economic institutions, notably the National Oil Corporation (NOC), Central Bank of Libya (CBL), and Audit Bureau. It commended the appointment of an official chairman of the NOC through a decree issued on September 29 and the Unified Development Program Agreement signed by representatives of the House of Representatives and High State Council on November 18. These developments are seen as potential steps towards sustainable economic policy and greater prosperity in Libya.

The coalition underscored that increased economic and security integration is essential to ensuring Libya's sovereignty, security, and long-term prosperity. Such integration is expected to complement and strengthen the political process, ultimately leading to a strong and prosperous Libya with unified economic, military, and political institutions, which the statement declared is in the interest of all parties involved.
