Under President Trump’s leadership, we will continue working with the parties, and with the United Nations, towards a lasting settlement.

The door to peace remains open to all parties- and to all observers.

The United States is not finished trying to resolve and lead the conflict in Western Sahara to a meaningful resolution.

Under President Trump’s leadership, we will continue working with the parties, and with the United Nations, towards a lasting settlement.

The door to peace remains open to all parties—and to all observers.

And after 50 years of well-wishes, speeches in this very Hall, frankly, some broken promises, the Sahrawi people deserve better. They deserve peace, and we intend to deliver.

The United States welcomes today’s UNSMIL-convened Economic Working Group meeting in Tripoli, which we co-chaired alongside Egypt, the EU, and UNSMIL. Strengthening transparency, safeguarding the independence and integrity of Libya’s economic institutions, and addressing illicit financial activities are essential to protecting Libya’s financial stability and the purchasing power of the Libyan people. We urge Libyan stakeholders to move promptly to implement the unification initiative and translate these discussions into concrete reforms. We remain committed to supporting Libyan-led reforms and coordinated international efforts to ensure Libya’s national wealth benefits all Libyans.

The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) convened today the Berlin Process Economic Working Group (EWG) Plenary at its premises in Tripoli, bringing together Libyan institutions, member states and international and regional organizations to discuss Libya’s pressing economic and financial challenges and explore coordinated support for Libyan-led reforms.

In her opening remarks, SRSG Hanna Tetteh noted that despite favourable energy prices in 2026, Libya faces growing economic pressures, including excessive public spending, dinar depreciation and declining purchasing power, with the Libyan people bearing the brunt.

She warned that weak economic governance, political interference in sovereign economic and oversight institutions, and illicit activities, including fuel smuggling and money laundering, continue to divert billions of dollars away from the Libyan people and undermine economic and financial stability. Stressing the close links between economic governance and Libya's broader political process, the SRSG called for concrete, coordinated action to strengthen institutional accountability, safeguard public resources and ensure that Libya's national wealth benefits all Libyans.

The meeting was co-chaired by Egypt, the United States, the European Union and UNSMIL, with participation from Libya’s National Audit Bureau and the National Oil Corporation. In addition to the co-chairs, international participants joining in person and online included representatives of Algeria, France, Germany, Italy, Morocco, the Netherlands, Qatar, Russia, Spain, Türkiye, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom, as well as the Arab League and the African Union.

Discussions focused on measures necessary to enhancing transparency and oversight of public resources, safeguarding key sovereign institutions, and addressing illicit economic and financial activities, including fuel smuggling, illicit financial flows and money laundering, in view of strengthening economic governance for the Libyan people. Participants also listened to presentations by representatives of Libyan institutions on Libya’s ongoing reform efforts in the oil and banking sectors, implementation challenges and areas where coordinated international support could add value.

The plenary underscored the urgency of reforms and close cooperation with national institutions, and considered practical follow-up priorities for international stakeholders to support fiscal stability, institutional coherence and coordination, transparency and accountable economic governance, under the shared objective of ensuring that Libya’s national wealth serves the interests of all Libyans.

Appreciated the opportunity to speak with Egyptian Foreign Minister Dr. Badr Abdelatty. I congratulated him on re-opening the Egyptian Embassy in Tripoli after 12 years of closure and we discussed building on recent momentum toward reunifying Libya’s institutions and advancing a Libyan-led path to national elections. We also discussed ongoing efforts to secure a humanitarian truce and lasting peace in Sudan. Egypt remains an important partner in our efforts to promote peace, stability, and prosperity across the region.
