Haftar & AFRICOM Commander Discuss Enhanced Military Cooperation in Libya

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

On Tuesday, the General Commander of the Libyan National Army (LNA), Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, held a pivotal meeting with a senior U.S. delegation led by General Michael Langley, Commander of the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), and Jeremy Bernt, the Acting Deputy Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in Libya.

The talks, which focused on deepening military and security cooperation, underscore the growing strategic relationship between the two nations.

During the meeting, Haftar extended a warm welcome to the U.S. officials, emphasizing the importance of enhancing joint efforts in combating terrorism and extremism. He highlighted the positive trajectory of relations between the Libyan National Army and the United States, noting that stronger coordination is essential for addressing shared security challenges in the region.

General Langley praised the Libyan National Army’s critical role in maintaining stability across Libya, particularly its efforts in securing and monitoring the country’s borders. These efforts are seen as vital in preventing the spread of extremist activities and illegal operations, which pose significant threats to Libya and its neighboring regions. The U.S. delegation expressed strong support for the LNA’s actions, viewing them as integral to the broader regional strategy aimed at combating terrorism and fostering long-term peace.

The discussions also explored ways to expand the existing partnership between the United States and Libya, with both sides expressing a keen interest in sharing expertise and enhancing cooperation in various military and security areas. This meeting is part of ongoing efforts to build a robust bilateral relationship that not only addresses immediate security concerns but also contributes to the long-term stability and development of Libya.

The timing of this meeting is crucial, as Libya continues to face a fragile security environment. The presence of militant groups and the challenges of border control in a geopolitically complex region remain significant issues. The U.S., through AFRICOM, has been actively involved in supporting stability in Libya, providing training, intelligence, and logistical assistance to Libyan forces. The collaboration between AFRICOM and the LNA is seen as a cornerstone of the international effort to stabilize Libya, which has been in turmoil since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
