Defense leaders from dozens of African nations will meet beginning tomorrow as part of the 2024 Africa Chiefs of Defense Conference in Botswana.
Stuttgart, Germany —
The U.S., Langley said, is known among African nations as an"enabler" that can be depended on to help partners achieve their own security goals -- not just by working through the military services, but with other U.S. government agencies, as well. "We're working through diplomatic means and also defense means with Libya," he said."We'll have representation at this conference from both sides of the Libyan country. So, I say that and will be there. I met these representatives last year, and they know their clear end state; they want to get there, and they are asking America to engage with them so they can achieve those ends.
"We are on pace and on plan," he said."There's a joint statement out between the U.S. government and Niger on us being able to complete the movement of equipment and personnel by 15 September."
