On May 31, local time, the foreign ministers of Egypt, Tunisia and Algeria held talks in Cairo on the Libyan issue and issued a joint statement. The foreign ministers of the three countries reiterated their call on all parties in Libya to exercise maximum restraint and immediately stop escalating the conflict. The foreign ministers of the three countries stressed that, under the supervision and support of the United Nations, it is hoped that all parties in Libya will reach a consensus to advance the Libyan political process, achieve institutional unity, and hold parliamentary and presidential elections. Libya's security is closely linked to the security of its neighbours. The statement stressed that the Libyan political process must be completely determined by Libyan autonomy, and that the political solution must be the choice of the Libyan people and must be based on the will and consensus of all parties in Libya.
