According to a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Egypt expressed hope that this positive step would provide the necessary momentum for efforts to achieve stability across all Libyan territories.

Egypt also reaffirmed its commitment to continuing its support for these efforts, in coordination with various regional and international partners, to safeguard the resources of the Libyan people and fulfil their aspirations, the statement added.

On Monday, Libya's eastern parliament appointed Naji Mohamed Issa Belqasem as the new central bank governor.

This came after the dismissal of former governor Sadiq Al-Kabir in August by the Tripoli-based presidential council.

This appointment is part of an agreement, brokered by the Acting Head of the United Nations Mission in Libya Stephanie Koury, between the eastern parliament and the High Council of State to establish new leadership for the central bank.

In August, the presidential council in Tripoli appointed Mohamed Abdul Salam Al-Shukri as Al-Kabir's replacement. The council is aligned with Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh's government, which controls western Libya.

However, the eastern parliament and the High Council of State, an advisory body based in Tripoli, deemed Al-Kabir's dismissal illegitimate, arguing that such a decision should have been made in coordination with both bodies.
