Libyan technical and security officials worked in Benghazi on strengthening the protection of oil and hydraulic installations, with the stated objective of preserving water and energy supplies.
Libyan representatives of the technical and security commissions met to harmonise security measures for oil fields and main hydraulic infrastructures.
The talks focus on facilities considered essential to the functioning of the economy and national supply.
The protection of oil infrastructure is particularly a major issue given their importance for the country’s energy resources.
Hydraulic infrastructure is also among the priorities examined. Their security aims to guarantee the continuity of the national water supply, alongside the maintenance of energy supply.
The Benghazi meeting thus highlights an approach combining security and continuity of essential services. Coordination between technical and security managers must make it possible to harmonize the systems applied to the infrastructures concerned.
This approach takes place in an environment where the protection of strategic installations remains an important issue for the economic and social stability of Libya.
Securing infrastructure therefore appears to be an element directly linked to the continuity of supplies.
The representatives meeting in Benghazi must now translate these orientations into operational measures.
The effective protection of oil and hydraulic installations will depend in particular on coordination between the different structures responsible for their safety and operation.
