During an official visit to Tunisia, Algeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ahmed Attaf, affirmed that resolving the Libyan crisis is a shared responsibility among neighboring countries. Attaf emphasized Algeria’s commitment to supporting the Libyan people in overcoming their challenges, fostering unity, and achieving a desired political settlement.
Speaking at the Ministerial Meeting of the Tripartite Mechanism of Libya’s Neighboring Countries, Attaf stated, “Our three nations are the most affected by the repercussions and complexities of the Libyan crisis, as we are the closest to the reality of the crisis and its various parties. We are also the most keen and sincere in ending the Libyan crisis and preserving Libya’s sovereignty, unity of land, people, and institutions.”
Minister Attaf expressed his appreciation for Tunisia’s initiative in convening this important meeting, which included the participation of the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Libya. He highlighted Algeria’s firm belief that Libya’s security is an integral part of the security of the three countries and the stability of the shared space as a whole.
“The responsibility that falls upon us is to contribute to providing the conditions for a suitable solution to the Libyan crisis, to empower the Libyans to own the political solution, and to participate in shielding this solution from interventions, tensions, and polarizations that complicate, and even prevent, a swift agreement on the desired solution to the Libyan crisis,” Attaf stated.
