The ministers emphasized the importance of conducting presidential and parliamentary elections simultaneously as soon as possible, considering that the continuation of division and the absence of a unified executive authority hinders stabilization efforts.<\/p>\n<p>The final statement also called for the withdrawal of all foreign forces, mercenaries, and foreign fighters from Libyan territory within a specified timeframe, while supporting the work of the &#8220;5+5&#8221; joint military committee to consolidate the ceasefire and unify military and security institutions.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting also highlighted the importance of adopting a comprehensive approach to the crisis that includes political, security, economic, and social aspects, with continued coordination among the three countries, the United Nations, the African Union, and the Arab League to support the political settlement.
