On 24 January 2017, the High Representative/Vice-President Federica Mogherini met in Brussels with the United Nations Secretary-General's Special Representative and Head of the UN Support Mission in Libya, Martin Kobler.

Federica Mogherini and Martin Kobler exchanged views on the political and security situation in Libya, and on the regional initiatives to support a political, inclusive solution in the country. They discussed the perspectives of intensifying cooperation to support such a solution which should be to the benefit of all Libyans. In this regard, the HR/VP updated the Special Representative on the EU's comprehensive efforts to tackle the challenges of irregular migration along the Central Mediterranean Route, which focus on saving lives at sea and tackling traffickers and smugglers.
