These talks respond to the mutual desire for coordination and deployment of efforts for a political settlement in Libya, said the spokesman for the Egyptian Foreign ministry in a statement, noting that Chokri expressed his appreciation to Bourita for his willingness to continue and intensify this coordination regarding Morocco's efforts in this direction.

The Egyptian minister reiterated Egypt's consistent position to work to achieve a political solution that preserves Libya's sovereignty and territorial integrity and meets the aspirations of the Libyan people for peace and security while preserving its resources, which will contribute to the fight against all manifestations of terrorism, extremism and foreign interference.

The two ministers also discussed, according to the same source, current initiatives aimed at sustaining the ceasefire and achieving a comprehensive political settlement of the crisis in the country.

On this occasion, they agreed to continue consultation and coordination and to intensify contacts with actors on the Libyan scene, international partners, the UN Special Envoy and the African Commission, as well as within the Arab League.
