Egypt's Foreign Minister and US Senior Adviser Boulos Discuss Advancing Libya's Political Process by Phone

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Massad Boulos, the US president's senior adviser for Arab and African affairs, spoke by phone Friday, September 19, 2026, touching on regional files including Iran and, on Libya specifically, 'efforts to advance the political process and end the country's prolonged divisions.' Abdelatty said Cairo's approach rests on preserving Libya's unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity and the unity of its national institutions, and called for regional and international efforts backing the Libyan political process to complement rather than compete with one another so Libyan parties can reach a settlement 'reflecting their own choices.' The call followed a September 5, 2026 Abdelatty-Boulos conversation that also touched on Libya's political deadlock alongside Sudan.
