Tripoli, 18 May 2026 (Lana) The United States stated that it’s pleased to see that representatives from Libya’s east and west have once again come together to take practical steps to strengthen border security cooperation, emphasizing its continued support for the path to unity and stability in Libya, following a meeting of the Joint Technical Coordination Team for Libyan Border Security facilitated by the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL).

U.S. Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs Massad Boulos said in a tweet that during the meeting they agreed to measures to strengthen joint border security cooperation and further operationalize joint border security centers in Benghazi and Tripoli.

“This latest meeting featured participation from senior military and police officers from the Libyan National Army, the Ministry of Defense, and the Ministry of Interior, in the presence of the Commanders of the Border Guard components of both sides,“ Boulos stated.

“The United States strongly supports Libya’s continuing progress towards unity, which follows April’s joint participation in the Flintlock 26 military exercise and the signing of a unified national budget,” he added.

He highlighted that these developments represent positive indicators of growing cooperation between Libyan institutions, which contributes to supporting stability and enhancing security along the Libyan borders.
