Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry stressed on Saturday that all foreign forces, in addition to foreign fighters and mercenaries, must exit Libyan territory in order to bring peace and stability. This came during Shoukry’s reception to the Vice-President of the Libyan Presidential Council, Abdullah Al-Lafi, and his accompanying delegation. Shoukry also reiterated Egypt’s full support for Libya as an independent and sovereign state over its entire national territory. Egypt supports the steady steps taking place in Libya to fulfill the political roadmap approved by Libyans, he said, leading to holding the presidential and parliamentary elections on their scheduled date. Lafi expressed his country’s appreciation and pride in Egypt’s supportive role in Libya and efforts to stabilize it.
