Algeria has renewed its call to end foreign interference in Libya and allow Libyans to decide their future, Algerian Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Ahmed Attaf said during the general debate of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, according to the Algerian authorities.
