Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Libya’s Chief of Security Units Staff, Lieutenant General Khaled Haftar, held a high-level meeting with Russian Deputy Defence Minister Yunus-bek Yevkurov during an official visit to Moscow.

The discussions focused on a range of strategic issues of mutual concern, with both sides exploring avenues to enhance bilateral cooperation. The meeting underscored the importance of strengthening ties in military and security fields, as well as expanding collaboration in areas such as economic development and reconstruction.

Deputy Defence Minister Yevkurov praised the role of Libya’s Armed Forces in maintaining national security and stability, stating that a stable Libya is critical to ensuring broader regional stability.

For his part, Lieutenant General Khaled Haftar highlighted the longstanding ties between Libya and Russia, stressing the need to further deepen cooperation across multiple sectors. He emphasised that enhanced military and economic collaboration would serve the shared interests of both nations.

This visit marks a continued effort by Libyan and Russian officials to reinforce strategic partnerships amid evolving geopolitical dynamics.

Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.

Libya’s economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya’s economy.

The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.

The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.

Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges.
