Tunisia hosted “first advisory meeting” on Monday in its capital Tunis with Algerian and Libyan leaders in the hope of establishing a new Maghreb regional coalition. A meeting that is supposed to be taken place every three months.
Mauritania did not participate at the meeting, as well as Morocco thal Algeria want to exclude from this new kind of Maghreb union.
The coalition is aimed at furthering “security, stability and development throughout the region”, Tunisian foreign minister Nabil Ammar read from a statement.
The meeting was decided on by Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune, Libya’s head of presidential council Mohamed Al-Menfi and Tunisian President Kais Saied when they met at an energy summit in Algeria last month.
