Italian Defense: Operation Sophia gave us the advantage of working with the Libyan Coast Guard

Italian Defense Minister Elisabetta Trenta confirmed on Tuesday that the Sofia naval operation had given its country a great advantage: working with the Libyan Coast Guard.

Trenta said that the process has been reduced to a certain extent, but did not die, noting that the process was an exceptional tool to work with the Libyan side, according to the Italian agency “Aki”.

It is noteworthy that the European Council of Ministers announced earlier, that the crews of Operation “Sophia” will follow the observations from the air only, and will work to complete the training of elements of the Coast Guard and the Libyan navy.
