Libya gives green light for EU coast guard training
None
BRUSSELS- Libya has given the European Union permission to begin training its coast guard, as increasing numbers of migrants leave the country bound for Italy.
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said Monday that the training effort "will be very important to control Libya's territorial waters, together with our Libyan partners, as well as to control the migrant influx."
Mogherini's remarks came as she arrived in Brussels for talks with EU foreign ministers on how to move ahead with the training, among other issues, including the fight against the ISIS group.
