Türkiye, Egypt pledge to work closely in LibyaANKARATürkiye and Egypt have agreed to work more closely to resolve the ongoing conflict in Libya by helping the two rival Libyan groups to set up a joint military unit as part of the unification efforts in the North African country. Of course, holding elections will be much more essential for unifying Libya,” Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said in a televised interview late on April 13. His remarks followed his meeting with Egypt Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, who was in Ankara for an official visit. But cooperation between Türkiye and Egypt will be in the interest of Libya,” Çavuşoğlu stated. Türkiye says its troops in Libya cannot be considered foreign troops and are there in line with a bilateral agreement with the Tripoli government.
