The Commander of the US Military Command in Africa announced the United States’ readiness to cooperate with Libya through diplomatic and defensive means.

General Michael Langley confirmed that representatives of the Libyan General Command forces and the outgoing “National Unity” government will attend the African Chiefs of Defense Conference, which is organized by the United States and Botswana.

Langley noted that the ultimate goal of the parties concerned is to achieve stability and security, and they asked the United States to engage actively to achieve this.

He explained that countries in West and North Africa and the Sahel region contacted the United States to discuss security challenges and stressed that Libya is one of these countries.
