A joint Libyan security team from eastern and western Libya concludes coordination visits to border security centers in Türkiye.

Ankara, February 4, 2026 (LANA) – The Joint Technical Coordination Team for Border Security, comprising senior officers from the military and security institutions of eastern and western Libya, concluded a series of specialized exchange visits to border security operations centers in Ankara between January 26 and 31.

The United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) stated on its official page that these visits were jointly facilitated by the Republic of Turkey and UNSMIL, combining Turkish technical expertise with the mission's role in coordination and confidence-building to support enhanced cooperation among Libyan security institutions.

The delegation held several meetings with the relevant border security departments in the Turkish Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of the Interior, as well as with the Joint Technical Coordination Team.

UNSMIL added that this visit contributes to strengthening coordination and building trust among Libyan security entities, bolstering practical coordination within relevant security and military institutions, and contributing to creating a conducive environment for the political process.

Turkey’s role as co-chair of the security working group stemming from the Berlin process highlights the international community’s ability to support purely Libyan efforts in the field of border security, and more broadly, to unify institutions in a way that enhances Libyan and regional security.
