In a joint statement, Egypt and Saudi Arabia stressed “the need to preserve the unity and integrity of Libyan territories and the importance of Libyan brothers reaching a Libyan-Libyan solution based on the Libyan ownership of the settlement without any dictates or external interference, leading to the holding of presidential and parliamentary elections simultaneously.”

Saudi Arabia praised Egypt's efforts to restore Libya's security, unity and sovereignty, in hosting the Libyan constitutional track meetings in coordination with the United Nations, "which allowed Libyan brothers free space to chart the future of their country."

The two sides stressed the importance of “supporting the role of Libyan institutions” and praised “the sincere national efforts and the legitimate procedures and decisions issued by the Libyan House of Representatives, as it is the elected legislative body that expresses the aspirations of the brotherly Libyan people.”

The two sides also stressed the importance of immediately starting to implement the exit of all foreign forces and mercenaries from Libya “without exception or procrastination and within a specific timeframe in implementation of Security Council Resolutions No. 2570 and 2571, and the outcomes of the Paris Summit and the Berlin Process”.

The two countries expressed their support for the efforts of the 5 + 5 Joint Military Commission in maintaining the ceasefire agreement in order to preserve the security, stability and capabilities of Libya.

The Egyptian-Saudi statement was issued at the conclusion of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's visit to Cairo, as part of a regional tour that includes Jordan and Turkey.
