The foreign ministers of Tunisia, Egypt and Algeria will meet in Algiers on Thursday to discuss the ongoing crisis in Libya.
Tunisia’s Foreign Ministry said Minister Mohamed Ali Nafti will join Egypt’s Badr Abdelatty and Algeria’s Ahmed Attaf for the tripartite talks in the Algerian capital.
The meeting aims to assess the latest political and security developments in Libya and coordinate efforts to support intra-Libyan dialogue under UN auspices.
Officials are expected to explore ways to foster conditions for a comprehensive political settlement that safeguards Libya’s sovereignty and unity while strengthening stability and development.
Egypt’s Foreign Ministry said Abdelatty arrived in Algiers on Wednesday and would also meet senior Algerian officials to discuss bilateral and regional issues of mutual concern.
The talks will include UN Special Envoy to Libya Hanna Tetteh, reflecting international support for the region’s initiative to end years of turmoil.
The tripartite consultation mechanism, first launched in 2017, was revived in May after a four-year hiatus. At their previous meeting in Cairo, the ministers jointly called on Libyan factions to show restraint and halt hostilities to protect civilians.
Libya remains fractured between two rival administrations: one in the east led by Osama Hammad, backed by the House of Representatives in Benghazi, and another in the west led by Abdelhamid Dbeibah’s internationally recognized Government of National Unity in Tripoli.
After more than a decade of instability since the 2011 overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi, Libyans continue to hope that long-delayed elections will finally restore national unity and peace.
