The Libyan Foreign Minister, Najla Al-Mangoush, has reiterated that she and the French, German and Italian counterparts agree on the need to remove all foreign elements and mercenaries from Libya.
Al-Mangoush’s remarks came in a press conference in Tripoli with the German foreign Minister, Heiko Maas, Italian Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio and the French Foreign Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian.
The European Foreign Ministers met with Al-Mangoush after they had arrived in Tripoli on Thursday to show support for the Government of National Unity as it leads Libya toward general elections in December.
The French Foreign Minister said at the press conference that Paris urges for the departure of all mercenaries from Libya, calling for the reopening of the coastal road that connects east and west Libya.
Meanwhile, the German Foreign Minister indicated that the removal of foreign mercenaries from Libya is a major condition for Libya to move into holding general elections next December, adding that the European Union will continue to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire in Libya.
