"Technical" discussions on migration have been ongoing for years between the European Commission and de facto representatives of eastern Libya, including General Khalifa Haftar's military staff. Recently, Brussels has started engaging with eastern Libya at a more political level.

Turkey and Italy are working more closely on migration, energy and regional influence as they seek to shape Libya’s political future. Both see the North African country as a key shared interest and are moving to consolidate their positions in the conflict-torn but energy-rich eastern Mediterranean.
