CAIRO, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron on Sunday discussed regional issues of mutual concern, particularly the situation in Libya, over phone.

"President Sisi stressed Egypt's position that supports Libya's unity, stability and security," Egyptian presidential spokesman Bassam Rady said in a statement.

Sisi also expressed Egypt's "rejection of all forms of foreign interventions in the Libyan domestic affairs," according to the statement.

For his part, Macron emphasized the necessity for finding a way out of the current crisis in Libya "which poses a threat to the entire region."

The two presidents agreed to intensify joint efforts for reaching a settlement in Libya and enabling the North African country to restore its regional and international roles, said Sisi's spokesman.

Libya has been mired in conflicts and chaos ever since the fall of former leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
