Sisi to Macron: Libya require collective international efforts to reach political solutions

Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi and President Emmanuel Macron of France discussed the situation in Libya by phone on Sunday, state news agency MENA reported.

The two men also spoke about other regional crises, MENA reported, and El-Sisi stressed that such crises, particularly the situation in Libya, require collective international efforts to reach political solutions.

The two leaders were keen to discuss the relationship of their countries and pledge further coordination and cooperation efforts, MENA reported.

Since the ousting of long-time Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, the country has slid into conflict, and now has rival governments and parliaments in the west and east.
