Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar, accompanied by General Staff Chief Yasar Guler and commanders of branches of the national armed forces, is paying a visit to Libya for a visit, the Anadolu news agency reported on Saturday.
The high-level delegation is expected to inspect Turkish troops deployed in Libya at request of the Tripoli-based government.
It comes after the Turkish parliament green-lighted on Tuesday President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's request to extend the mandate of Turkish troops in Libya for another 18 months.
