CAIRO Puma Slides Shoes , Aug. 13 (Xinhua) -- Egyptian Foreign Minister held talks on Sunday with the United Nations envoy for the Libyan crisis to discuss efforts for a political settlement in the neighboring war-torn Arab country.
"The Egyptian foreign minister updated the UN envoy with the recent efforts and moves done by Egypt to enhance and promote agreement and national reconciliation in Libya," said the Foreign Ministry's spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid in a statement.
Sameh Shoukry, the Egyptian Foreign Minister, highlighted the future arrangements which would include earnest steps towards inter-Libyan unity, stressing Skhirat agreement as a basis for a future comprehensive Libyan settlement.
For his part, the UN envoy Ghassan Salame explained the results of his recent communications and consultations with different Libyan active figures besides his relevant regional and international talks.
Libya has been engaged in a civil war since the 2011 ouster and death of former leader Muammar Gaddafi Puma Creepers Shoes , which eventually divided the war-torn country into two governments, a UN-backed one in Tripoli and a parliament-backed, military-oriented one in Tobruk.
Tobruk's government was internationally recognized before the Presidential Council (PC) was established in 2015 to run a unity government in Tripoli as per a UN-brokered peace deal between Libyan factions reached in Skhirat, Morocco.
Supported by self-proclaimed Libyan national army led by Field Marshall Khalifa Haftar, the parliament-backed government in Tobruk refuses to recognize the UN-backed, Tripoli-based Puma Rihanna Shoes , PC-run unity government known as the Government of National Accord (GNA).
Egypt, which hosted several meetings of Libyan factions, refrains from recognizing the GNA, saying it is up to the Libyan people to determine their own government.
However, it repeatedly expressed support for the Tobruk-based government and for strongman Haftar's crackdown on militants in Libya, describing the man as "Libya's savior from terrorism."
In January Puma Fenty , Cairo hosted top diplomats from Libya and its neighboring states, namely Egypt, Algeria, Sudan, Chad, Niger and Tunisia Puma Slides , as well as the Arab League chief and UN envoy, who issued a joint communiqu urging Libyan dialogue and reiterating rejection of any foreign military interference in the war-torn country.
In mid-February, Egypt managed to get military chief Haftar and PC chief Fayez al-Sarraj to Cairo but failed to convince the two rivals to hold direct talks.
France managed earlier in July to rarely bring face to face Libya's two main rivals Sarraj and Haftar for peace talks. The Egyptian foreign minister also met with the two separately in Paris later on July 26.

KUWAIT, Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- Kuwait on Wednesday refuted media reports that Iran has used Kuwaiti waters to send arms to the Houthis in Yemen.
Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the country's waters were under total control of the Kuwaiti navy and coast guard, the official news agency KUNA reported.
There were no reports of suspicious marine movements or activities in Kuwait's waters, the report quoted a ministerial source as saying.
The source urged media outlets to investigate matters more thoroughly before publishing news on the issue.
Media reports said Tuesday that Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps has started using a new route between Kuwait and Iran across the Gulf to send arms to the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
Before that, Iran shipped arms to the Houthis either directly to Yemen or via Somalia. But the route risked contact with international naval vessels on patrol in the area.
Yemen's internationally-backed government, allied with Saudi Arabia Puma Rihanna , has for years been battling Iran-backed Shiite Houthi rebels for control of the country.
In March 2015, the Saudi-led coalition imposed an air and sea blockade on Yemen to prevent weapons from reaching the Houthis, who took over the capital Sanaa and most northern Yemeni provinces.
Statistics showed more than 10,000 people, most of them civilians, have been killed since the Saudi-led coalition intervened in Yemen's civil war in 2015.
