They exchanged views on the political and security situation in Libya and underlined the need to overcome the current political deadlock for the sake of all Libyans.
Mogherini underlined the need for all actors, including the Libyan authorities and United Nations bodies, to do more to ensure the protection and assistance of vulnerable migrants inside Libya, by improving the living conditions in these centres. In this regard, she pledged continued EU support. She also updated the Special Representative on the training of the Libyan Coast Guard by EUNAVFOR MED Operation Sophia.
