Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry discussed on Thursday ways to support Libya in solving its political crisis with Head of the UN Support Mission in Libya Martin Kobler, following an official conference on the situation in Cairo this week.

Cairo hosted a conference on Libya Monday through Wednesday this week, with leading officials and representatives from the country's numerous factions.

The conference concluded with a declaration of principles and five proposed amendments to the 2015 UN-brokered agreement, which aims to create a unity government in the North African country.

In an official statement on Thursday, the foreign ministry said that Shoukry presented these conclusions to Kobler, stressing that all of Libya's factions should be engaged in the dialogue.

Kobler hailed Cairo's efforts to help resolve the conflict in the war-torn North African state, highlighting Egypt's key role in pushing the process forward.

The declaration of principles to be respected in Libya's transition included the preservation of a united Libyan territory, support for national institutions, non-interference by foreign bodies, and the maintenance of a civil state.

Libyan participants called on the Libyan National Dialogue Commission and the United Nations Support Mission in Libya to hold a meeting within two weeks to discuss the conference proposals and possible solutions to end the country's political crisis.
