The Presidency of the Republic announced earlier, at the beginning of March, that the President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, his Tunisian counterpart, Kais Saied, and the President of the Libyan Presidential Council, Mohamed Menfi, had agreed to hold a tripartite Maghreb meeting every three months, the first of which will be held in Tunisia on Monday.

The statement said that the three presidents held a tripartite meeting in which they reviewed the results of the seventh gas summit held in Algiers from February 29 to March 2 last year.

According to the same source, the leaders of the three countries also discussed the prevailing conditions in the Maghreb region, so that the meeting concluded with the need to intensify and unify efforts to face the economic and security challenges in a way that will positively benefit the peoples of the three countries.

President Tebboune had previously sent Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf on a tour of Tunisia, Libya and Mauritania to deliver written messages to the three countries regarding a proposal to create a common framework for coordinating positions and discussing the problems of the Maghreb region.
