Takala Hosts Chadian Senate Delegation to Strengthen Libya-Chad Bilateral Ties
High-Level Meeting in Tripoli Advances Cross-Border Cooperation
Head of the High Council of State (HCS), Mohammed Takala, received a delegation from the Chadian-Libyan Friendship Committee of the Chadian Senate in Tripoli on Tuesday, June 16, 2026. The meeting, which included senior Libyan parliamentary figures, focused on deepening bilateral relations between Libya and Chad and expanding joint cooperation across multiple sectors serving the interests of both nations.
The Chadian delegation was led by Dr. Zakaria Saleh, head of the Chadian-Libyan Friendship Committee of the Chadian Senate. On the Libyan side, Taher Makni, Chairman of the Libyan-Chadian Friendship Committee of the HCS, joined members of the friendship committee and chairpersons of the Council's standing committees for the discussions, according to the Libyan News Agency (LANA).
Border Stability and Security Coordination Take Center Stage
A central topic of discussion was the situation in border regions between the two neighboring countries, which share a frontier stretching approximately 1,050 kilometers across the Sahara. Both sides explored ways to support stability and strengthen cooperation along the shared border, a region that has historically faced challenges including illicit trafficking, armed group activity, and the movement of displaced populations.
The meeting comes just months after Chad announced in February 2026 the formation of a joint military unit with Libya to manage the shared border. Both governments described the initiative as an essential step to stabilize the frontier, curb illicit activities, and prevent security threats from spilling across national boundaries.
Key Outcomes of the Tripoli Meeting
- Enhanced institutional communication: Both sides emphasized strengthening coordination between relevant institutions and bodies in Libya and Chad to consolidate bilateral relations.
- Security and stability cooperation: Participants discussed joint efforts to support security and stability in border regions, building on the February 2026 agreement for a joint monitoring unit.
- Development partnerships: The meeting explored expanding cooperation in vital sectors including trade, investment, and cross-border development initiatives.
- Parliamentary diplomacy: The involvement of friendship committees from both legislative bodies signals a growing role of parliamentary diplomacy in Libya-Chad relations.
- Regional stability: Both delegations reaffirmed their commitment to addressing shared challenges through dialogue and institutional frameworks rather than unilateral measures.
Dr. Zakaria Saleh: "Cooperation Is the Path Forward"
Dr. Zakaria Saleh, head of the Chadian delegation, underscored the importance of sustained engagement between the two nations. "The bonds between the Libyan and Chadian peoples are deep-rooted, and it is through institutional cooperation and regular dialogue that we can translate these ties into tangible outcomes for our citizens," he stated during the meeting, as reported by LANA.
Why This Matters for Libya
For Libya, the relationship with Chad carries significant strategic weight. The two countries share not only a vast desert border but also deep cultural, tribal, and economic connections that span decades. Strengthening ties with Chad directly impacts Libya's southern security architecture, a critical concern given the instability that has persisted in the Sahel region.
The engagement also reflects the High Council of State's active diplomatic posture under Takala's leadership. In recent months, Takala has hosted multiple foreign delegations, including an Italian parliamentary delegation in April 2026, signaling Libya's continued engagement with international partners despite the country's ongoing political challenges.
Economically, improved border management and bilateral cooperation could open new trade corridors between Libya and Chad, benefiting communities on both sides and creating opportunities for Libyan businesses to access Central African markets through Chad's strategic geographic position.
A Step Toward Stronger Regional Partnerships
Tuesday's meeting represents a concrete step forward in Libya-Chad relations at a time when regional cooperation is increasingly vital. With security challenges in the Sahel and Sahara demanding coordinated responses, the commitment from both legislative bodies to sustained dialogue offers a constructive framework for addressing shared concerns. As both nations work to strengthen institutions and build trust, the Libya-Chad partnership has the potential to become a model for cross-border cooperation in North Africa.
