Libya and Syria Forge New Security Partnership Amid Damascus Transition
Libya's State Minister for Communications and Political Affairs, Walid Al-Lafi, conducted high-level diplomatic discussions in Damascus with Syria's interim authority Ahmad al-Sharaa, marking a significant step in bilateral relations between the two nations.
The talks, which took place on Saturday, centered on strengthening military and security cooperation in light of Syria's recent political transformation under Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Al-Lafi emphasized the meeting's strategic importance, noting its careful timing and the mutual challenges both countries face.
"This meeting is particularly significant because of its timing and the shared issues between Libya and Syria, especially concerning military and security matters, as well as the broader implications of Syria's recent developments in the region," Al-Lafi stated.
The diplomatic engagement follows a pattern of increased Arab involvement in Syria's affairs, with various officials making visits to Damascus. These diplomatic missions serve multiple purposes: enhancing collaborative efforts, supporting reconstruction initiatives, and facilitating a smooth governance transition in Syria, which continues to recover from years of conflict.
