In a significant development aimed at strengthening peace and stability in Libya, a high-level delegation led by Ibrahim Kalın, the Head of Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MİT), met with General Khalifa Haftar, the Commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA), in Benghazi. The talks focused on joint efforts to unify Libya’s eastern and western administrations and military forces under a single authority, as well as broader issues related to the country’s political and security situation.
The meeting comes at a critical time for Libya, which has been grappling with a protracted conflict between rival factions and militant groups. The ongoing instability has had significant implications for the country’s economic and social development, as well as for regional security and stability.
Speaking to the press following the meeting, officials on both sides stressed the importance of working together to address the complex challenges facing Libya. According to the Turkish delegation, the talks focused on several key initiatives aimed at promoting unity and stability in the country.
“Not only did we discuss efforts to unify Libya’s eastern and western administrations and military forces under a single authority,” said a senior Turkish official, “but we also explored ways to boost cooperation between the two sides on issues such as counter-terrorism, border security, and migration management.”
The meeting also covered the growing relationship between Turkey and Libya, including ways to expand cooperation across various sectors. The two sides emphasized their commitment to strengthening ties between the two nations and promoting collaboration in areas such as trade, energy, infrastructure development, and defense and security.
