Tunis, 17 December 2017:
The Algeria government has reassured Presidency Council (PC) head Faiez Serraj that today’s supposed 17 December expiry of the Libyan Political Agreement (LPA) signed in Skhirat two years ago is of no significance for it. Algerian prime minister Ahmed Ouyahia told him that his government continues to support the LPA and the PC.
The two also discussed cooperation between the two countries and the agenda for meeting early in the new year of the Algerian-Libyan joint committee. It is expected to focus on border security and the smuggling of weapons and illegal immigrants.
Serraj had flown in from Tunis for the talks which were attended by Algerian foreign minister Abdelkader Messahel. He then flew back to Tripoli immediately after they were over. Messahel also flew to the Tunisian capital afterwards for tripartite talks on Libya with his Tunisian and Egyptian opposite numbers.
