Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan agreed that the success of the two countries in achieving security and political stability in Libya "will represent a model to be followed," according to El-Sisi's speech during a joint press conference held Wednesday in Cairo.

The Egyptian president said that he and Erdogan "stressed the need to strengthen consultation between the two countries on the Libyan file, in a way that helps in holding presidential and legislative elections, and unifies the military institution in the country, and we appreciate that our success in achieving security and political stability in Libya will represent a model to be followed."

El-Sisi stressed in his speech "that the countries of the region are the most able to understand local complexities and ways to settle existing differences."
