The "Secretary General of the General Command" of Haftar's forces, Khairi Al-Tamimi, received the Turkish military attaché to Libya and his accompanying delegation at the headquarters of Haftar's forces in Rajma, Benghazi.
Al-Tamimi said on his personal Facebook page on Thursday that his meeting with the Turkish military attaché and his accompanying delegation "discussed ways of joint cooperation between the two sides."
This is the first announced meeting between the Turkish military attaché to Libya and officials from Haftar's forces in Benghazi.
The meeting comes in light of the noticeable rapprochement between Haftar and Turkey in recent months, and it was preceded by the visit of the Chief of Staff of the Ground Forces, Saddam Khalifa Haftar, to Istanbul and his meeting with the Turkish Minister of Defense during their attendance at the "Saha Expo 2024" International Defense and Space Exhibition on October 22.
The meeting also comes two days after the visit of the Turkish Ambassador to Libya to the city of Benghazi and his meeting with the Director General of the Development and Reconstruction Fund of Libya, Belgassim Khalifa Haftar, and the Chairman of the Executive Council of the Benghazi Municipality, Saqr Bujwari.
