Paris and Cairo "are concerned about the situation in Libya and we hope there is a global mobilisation at the UN General Assembly to fight the terrorist threat" in that country, Le Drian said.
The UN General Assembly meets next week in New York.
"We must act as our collective security is at stake in Syria and in Libya, the gateway to Europe and Egypt.... At the UN General Assembly meeting I hope to have a broad roadmap to end the chaos in Libya."
"The question is what roadmap the international community can come up with collectively under the authority of the United Nations in cooperation with the authorities in Tobruk," Le Drian added.
Libya's parliament and the internationally recognised government relocated in August to Tobruk 1,500 kilometres (1,000 miles) east of Tripoli, as Islamist and nationalist militias battled for control of the capital.
Libya has slid into chaos since Moamer Kadhafi was overthrown and killed three years ago, with interim authorities confronting powerful militias that fought to oust the veteran dictator.
