Libyan Prime Minister Osama Hammad took part in a major graduation ceremony on Saturday in the eastern city of Benghazi, marking the commencement of the fourth class of cadets from the Higher Institute for Police Officers.
The event was attended by Libya’s Ministers of Interior and Defense, along with a number of senior officials, military commanders, and security leaders. The presence of top-level government and military figures underlined the significance of the occasion and the government’s continued focus on supporting national security institutions.
The ceremony featured impressive military displays and tactical field exercises by the newly graduated officers, showcasing their readiness, discipline, and the professional training they have undergone. These performances demonstrated the institute’s role in preparing a new generation of officers to meet Libya’s pressing security challenges.
Prime Minister Hammad commended the graduates and reiterated his government’s commitment to strengthening the country’s internal security infrastructure. He praised the efforts of the security and defense ministries in maintaining stability, particularly in eastern Libya.
The graduation comes at a time of ongoing efforts to rebuild and professionalize Libya’s military and police institutions, amid regional tensions and internal divisions. The Libyan government-designate, led by Osama Hammad, continues to emphasize national unity and institutional development as part of its strategic goals.
The Higher Institute for Police Officers in Benghazi plays a vital role in training and equipping officers to uphold law and order across the country. This latest batch of graduates is expected to be deployed across various sectors of the Libyan security apparatus.
As Libya navigates a complex political landscape, such events serve as both a morale boost and a message of continuity for the country’s law enforcement and defense sectors.
