The new Tunisia adopts a fair and balanced policy with the various brotherly and friendly countries as well as with the various blocs and other gatherings on a regional and international scale, while remaining faithful to its principles of mutual respect and faithful to the win/win spirit.
The Press — Indeed, thanks to his foreign policy project, the President of the Republic has left his mark on the main orientations and the presence of the country on the political scene within various bodies throughout the world, more precisely at the neighborhood level.
Seeking to bring about political and strategic stability in the Maghreb region, Tunisia poses itself as an essential player in relations between the different countries in the area, more particularly the situation in our Libyan neighbor which remains, like other countries, a key link in the regional stability provided, of course, that it benefits from all its rights to sovereignty and independence of decision.
Moreover, it is in this context that the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Migration and Tunisians Abroad, Mohamed Ali Nafti, has just participated in the tripartite meeting between the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Tunisia, Egypt and Algeria, within the framework of what is called “the tripartite mechanism of Libya’s neighboring countries†.
In their final declaration, the three heads of diplomacy indicated and insisted on the need for a global political settlement, under the aegis of the UN and which represents “the only way” to put an end to the Libyan crisis, unify state institutions and organize simultaneous presidential and legislative elections.
Even more, they, at the same time, categorically rejected any foreign interference, pleading for a Libyan-Libyan solution and an integrated approach articulated around the political, security, economic and social aspects, to the extent that the said interference constitute; on the contrary, a major factor in aggravating tensions and prolonging the crisis.
Along the same lines, the three ministers expressed their deep concern about the risks faced by this neighboring country while urging the Libyan factions to exercise the greatest restraint and avoid escalation.
On the other hand, by reiterating their support for the efforts of the Joint Military Commission (5+5) to consolidate the ceasefire and by demanding the total and scheduled withdrawal of all foreign forces, foreign fighters and mercenaries from Libyan territory, the ministers did not forget to emphasize the importance of close coordination with the UN, the Arab League and the African Union.
It should be noted that during the visit of our Minister of Foreign Affairs to Cairo where he was received by President Abdelfattah Al-Sisi to discuss the various points of the privileged and solid relations between the two countries, the emphasis was placed on the need to keep open the action of the Tunisian-Egyptian-Algerian tripartite consultation mechanism in order to contribute to a political solution guaranteeing the security, unity and stability of Libya.
This means that the mechanism in question supports the Tunisian approach based on dialogue between Libyans and the search for a consensus without exclusion, knowing that our country has insisted, for several years, on the imperative of a solution inter-Libyan alliance based on a real will of the Libyan people.
Let us recall that, since the end of January 2026, President Kaïs Saïed had renewed Tunisia’s constant consisting in the fact that the solution to the crisis in our neighbor must be designed far from any attempt at internationalization.
Ultimately, the Head of State continues to reaffirm Tunisia’s attachment to the unity, security and stability of Libya while insisting on the fact that only Libyans are empowered to freely determine their future in order to remain masters of their own. destiny.
