CAIRO, Oct 30 (NNN-XINHUA) – Egypt and Germany agreed on Tuesday, to intensify their efforts to reach a comprehensive solution to the Libyan crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, discussed with visiting German Foreign Minister, Heiko Maas, a number of regional issues of bilateral interest, including the Libyan and Syrian conflicts, said Bassam Radi, spokesperson of the Egyptian presidency’s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two leaders agreed on “the need for a Libyan solution, which would conserve the state’s resources and its national institutions, and limit foreign interference, and thus contribute in eliminating terrorism,” Radi said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later, in a joint press conference, Egyptian Foreign Minister, Sameh Shoukry said, “Egypt has repeatedly reiterated the necessity of (finding) a political resolution for the crisis in Libya, and the rejection of foreign interference.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cairo was the final destination of Maas’ North African tour, which included stops in Libya and Tunisia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maas said, during his visit in Libya, that he was seeking an end to all “foreign interference” in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germany is planning to bring together all Libyan rival factions for a comprehensive solution, to the extended eight-year conflict, later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Apr, the eastern-based Libyan National Army, loyal to Khalifa Haftar, began an offensive to gain control over the capital Tripoli, controlled by internationally recognised government of national accord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At least 1,000 people have been killed in the escalated conflict as a result, and 120,000 others have been displaced, the World Health Organisation, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting on the resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister, Saad Hariri, following massive protests in Lebanon, Maas said, he closely follows the situation, vowing to help achieve stability there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He hoped that the resignation of the government wouldn’t lead to instability of the country, adding, “we don’t need political vacuum right now in Lebanon.”– NNN-XINHUA <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
