Libyan State Minister for Communications and Political Affairs Walid Al-Lafi arrived in Damascus on Saturday for talks with Syrian officials, focusing on military and security cooperation between the two nations.
At the Al-Shaab Palace, Al-Lafi met with Ahmad al-Sharaa, a key figure in Syria’s leadership, to address the evolving security landscape in the region.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Al-Lafi emphasized the importance of the discussions, noting their timing and the shared challenges between Libya and Syria.
“This was an important meeting, particularly because of the military and security files that connect Libya and Syria,” Al-Lafi said. “We also discussed the broader consequences of the significant events in Syria on the region as a whole.”
The visit comes as foreign and Arab officials increasingly engage with Syria following the ousting of former President Bashar al-Assad. Officials have pledged cooperation on reconstruction efforts and support for a peaceful transition of power in the war-torn nation.
