Cairo: Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi stressed today, Wednesday, the necessity of strengthening consultation between Egypt and Turkey on the Libyan file, in a way that helps hold presidential and legislative elections and unifies the country’s military establishment.
Al-Sisi said in a joint press conference with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is currently visiting Egypt, ‘Our success in achieving security and political stability in Libya will represent a model to be emulated, as the countries of the region are the most capable of understanding its complexities and ways to resolve existing disputes there.’
