Egypt to take part in Libyan rivals’ Paris talks, Macron, Sisi talk cooperation and Libya in phone call

Egypt is one of 19 countries taking part in a Paris conference tomorrow that will bring Libya’s rival factions together to agree on a political roadmap, Reuters reports. “Once we have this roadmap we will have outlined the commitments from all sides and the next steps,” a French presidential advisor told reporters. The UAE, Qatar, Turkey, and Italy are also joining the meeting. President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian had agreed in Cairo last month that the war-torn country should hold elections by year’s end.

This comes as French President Emmanuel Macron praised El Sisi for his efforts to restore stability in Libya during a phone call yesterday, according to an Ittihadiya statement. The two presidents also discussed the latest regional developments and agreed to push for concerted international effort to reach a practical settlement in Syria.
