Libyan General Salah al-Namrush, chief of staff of the Government of National Unity, has called for the implementation of agreements reached during a meeting in the city of Sirte. The talks, which took place on September 9, brought together chiefs of staff from the eastern and western regions. They focused on strengthening cooperation and integration within the military institution. Al-Namrush met with regional chiefs of staff to discuss the outcomes of the Sirte meeting.
The Sirte meeting resulted in an agreement on a joint action plan with four main axes. These include joint military exercises and training, cooperation in armament and equipment updates, logistical coordination, and collaboration in military education. The plan aims to enhance cooperation and trust between the two regions. It also seeks to support efforts to unify the military institution.
General al-Namrush praised the results of the Sirte meeting, emphasizing the importance of translating discussions into practical actions. He also commended the role of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya in facilitating dialogue and supporting the unification of the military institution. The mission has been working to help Libyan parties reach a lasting agreement.
The United Nations Support Mission in Libya welcomed the Sirte meeting, viewing it as a positive step towards military unity. The mission encourages continued dialogue and cooperation between Libyan military factions. The goal is to strengthen the country's stability and security.
The meeting in Sirte is part of ongoing efforts to unify Libya's military. It follows a previous meeting between General al-Namrush and General Khalifa Haftar, commander of the Libyan National Army, in June. These talks aim to overcome differences and build a more cohesive military institution.
