On Tuesday, Libya’s Ground Forces Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Saddam Khalifa Haftar, held high-level talks in Cairo with Egypt’s Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Ahmed Khalifa, as part of a coordinated effort to improve joint security, enhance border control, and combat irregular migration across the Libyan-Egyptian frontier.

The meeting took place at Egypt’s Ministry of Defense, where General Haftar and his delegation received a formal welcome that included military honors and the national anthems of both countries.

According to a statement from the Egyptian Armed Forces, the dialogue focused on “aligning strategic visions and strengthening joint efforts to secure the shared border and address irregular migration.”

Both sides emphasized the urgent need to develop practical security frameworks that would help stabilize Libya’s border regions, reduce smuggling and trafficking activity, and promote greater regional coordination. With parts of Libya’s territory still facing security vulnerabilities, especially near border crossings, the talks underscored the importance of cooperation between the Libyan National Army and its Egyptian counterparts.

Lieutenant General Saddam Haftar praised Egypt’s continuous support for Libya’s security and unity. He acknowledged Cairo’s regional role in promoting peace and expressed a strong interest in expanding bilateral military collaboration to better equip Libyan forces in maintaining national stability.

For his part, Lieutenant General Khalifa reaffirmed Egypt’s commitment to supporting Libya’s sovereignty and its armed forces. He stressed the depth of the historic ties between the two nations and highlighted Egypt’s ongoing efforts to help Libya restore full control over its territory through coordinated defense strategies.

This meeting comes amid growing concerns over the rise in irregular migration and cross-border smuggling networks. Both nations recognize the need for a more structured approach to security cooperation, including intelligence sharing, border surveillance, and joint training initiatives.
