Libya & Turkey Discuss Strengthening Cooperation

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

On Thursday, Libya’s Acting Minister of Planning, Mohamed Al-Zidani, held discussions with the Turkish Ambassador to Libya, Güven Begeç, to explore potential avenues for development cooperation. While the talks focused on enhancing bilateral relations, Libya approached the discussions with caution, reflecting broader concerns about Turkey’s role and influence in the region.

The meeting, as reported by the “Hakomitna” platform, underscored Libya’s acknowledgment of the deep ties between the two nations. However, Libya remains wary of fully committing to an expanded partnership with Turkey, given the complex dynamics at play. Although both sides expressed a willingness to enhance cooperation, Libya is carefully weighing the potential benefits against the risks associated with deeper engagement.

Turkey has been an active player in Libya’s post-conflict reconstruction, particularly in infrastructure and development sectors. Turkish companies have taken on numerous projects across Libya, from building hospitals to housing complexes. Despite these contributions, there are underlying concerns in Libya about Turkey’s intentions and long-term goals in the region, particularly its political and military involvement.

During the talks, Libya signaled its readiness to explore collaboration, particularly in areas where Turkish expertise could be beneficial. However, the government is clearly taking a measured approach, ensuring that any agreements serve Libya’s strategic interests without compromising its sovereignty or becoming overly reliant on Turkish influence.

The meeting highlighted Libya’s desire to maintain control over its development path while selectively engaging with international partners. While Turkey remains an important player, Libya is cautious about expanding ties too rapidly or deeply, especially given the broader regional context.

As Libya continues its efforts toward recovery and development, the government is focused on building partnerships that align with its national priorities. The discussions with Turkey are part of this broader strategy, but Libya is careful to ensure that any cooperation is balanced and in its best interest.
