Accompanying President Erdoğan on his visit are Minister of Foreign Affairs Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and Minister of National Defense Hulusi Akar.

Turkey and Libya’s UN-recognized Government of National Accord (GNA) signed on November 27 a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) delineating their security and maritime boundaries.

These agreements drew condemnation by both Greece and the international community, including the European union, USA, Russia, Egypt, France, Israel, Arap League and the Libyan opposition, led by the Libyan House of Representative and Khalifa Hafter, the head of the so-called Libyan National Army, as a violation of the International Law of the Sea and the Skhirat Agreement.
