France, Germany, Italy & Libya Agree on Immediate Withdrawal of Foreign Forces From Libya
[LIBYAREVIEW] The Foreign Ministers of Germany, La Belle France, and Italia arrived in Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
on Thursday. This was part of a unified step meant to show greater support to the newly appointed Libyan government.

Libya’s Foreign Minister, Najla al-Mangoush received her European counterparts and held a joint meeting with them, where they agreed to reopen their embassies in Tripoli. She called on all foreign forces in Libya to withdraw immediately.

German Foreign Minister, Heiko Maas said the visit aims to prove the EU’s determination to stand by the Government of National Unity (GNU), "indicating that his country will monitor the arms embargo on the parties in Libya."

Maas stressed that the withdrawal of foreign forces and mercenaries from Libya is a prerequisite for preparing for the upcoming elections, saying: "We are now reaping the fruits of the Berlin track, and the credit belongs to the Libyans."

French Foreign Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian stressed the need to hold the elections in December as scheduled. He said that the main coastal road in Libya should be reopened to ensure the withdrawal of all foreign forces and mercenaries. Le Drian pointed out that the EU supported the smooth transfer of power in Libya.

Italian Foreign Minister, Luigi Di Maio affirmed that the EU supports the stability of Libya, stressing that cooperation with Libya will continue to combat illegal migration and human trafficking.

"We will continue our commitment to monitor the ceasefire and arms embargo on Libya," Di Maio said during the joint conference in Tripoli.
