Libyan Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dabaiba has expressed his country's reliance on Egypt's role in supporting Libya's stability and unity. In a recent interview with Cairo News Channel, Dabaiba welcomed Egypt's efforts to bring together local parties and foster dialogue. He emphasized that Libya looks forward to the support of friendly countries and neighboring nations, as long as their efforts are positive and do not favor one side over another in the country's political dispute.

Dabaiba's comments come as Libya continues to navigate its complex political landscape. The country's stability has been a concern for regional and international actors, with many calling for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing crisis. Egypt has been actively engaged in efforts to support Libya's stability, and Dabaiba's remarks suggest that Libya values Egypt's role in this process. The two countries have a long-standing relationship, with Egypt being one of Libya's most important regional partners.

The two leaders also discussed the issue of maritime border demarcation between Libya and Egypt. Dabaiba noted that consultations between the two countries are ongoing regarding the agreement signed between Libya and Turkey. He added that the joint committee between Libya and Egypt is set to hold its next meeting in either Tripoli or Cairo, depending on the agreement of both parties. The meeting will provide an opportunity for the two sides to discuss their different positions and reach a mutual understanding.

In addition to his discussions with Egypt, Dabaiba also touched on Libya's efforts to revive the Community of Sahel and Saharan States (CSSS). He stated that Libya is in talks with member countries, including Egypt, to reactivate the organization and relocate its executive headquarters to Tripoli. The CSSS was established to promote cooperation and development among its member states, and Libya sees its revival as an important step towards enhancing regional collaboration.

Dabaiba's government has been working to address the various challenges facing Libya, including the need for stability and economic growth. The country's economy has been severely impacted by the ongoing conflict, and Dabaiba has called for international support to help rebuild the country's infrastructure and institutions. Egypt's role in supporting Libya's stability and unity is seen as crucial in this regard.

The Libyan prime minister's comments on Egypt's role in Libya's stability and unity come at a time when the region is experiencing heightened tensions. The country's ongoing crisis has had significant implications for regional security, and many countries are watching the situation closely. Dabaiba's remarks suggest that Libya is seeking a peaceful resolution to its crisis and is willing to work with regional partners to achieve this goal.

As Libya continues to navigate its complex political landscape, the country's leadership will likely continue to engage with regional partners, including Egypt, to address the various challenges it faces. Dabaiba's comments on Egypt's role in supporting Libya's stability and unity highlight the importance of regional cooperation in addressing the country's crisis. The situation in Libya remains closely watched by regional and international actors, who are all keenly interested in seeing a peaceful resolution to the country's ongoing crisis.
