Home affairs minister Byron Camilleri met with Libyan Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar on Tuesday for talks in Benghazi on security challenges in the Mediterranean. In a press statement on Tuesday, the home affairs ministry said the two sides agreed on further cooperation between Malta and East Libya, primarily on training, education, and combatting human trafficking and criminal activity. “Collaboration between Libya and neighbouring countries like Malta can benefit the citizens of Malta and Libya, and their interests in the two countries,” Camilleri said. Last year, a Maltese diplomatic delegation met with Haftar – a diplomatic first at the time. READ ALSO: Malta provided migrant boat location to Libyan militia with human trafficking ties
