He also stressed the position of Tunisia in support of Libya, which was expressed by the President of the Republic on many occasions, calling for the solution, Libya-Libya, to be based on the Libyans owning the sovereignty of their decisions and in accordance with their priorities, in a way that guarantees the achievement of security and stability in this brotherly country.

The heads of the delegations of the participating countries stressed the importance of coordination and consultation between the various Arab countries.

The meeting was an occasion to listen to the briefings of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission in Libya, which included calls for various Libyan parties for dialogue and consensus to get Libya out of this crisis, restore its pivotal role in the region and maintain security and peace in it. Going to free and fair elections paves the way for the establishment of permanent legal and constitutional institutions that guarantee security and stability for Libya and the entire region.
