French authorities announced on Wednesday that they had worked out modalities for the training of Libyan police units.
Romain Nadal, Spokesman of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said his country agreed in February 2013 to train 1,000 Libyan police officers on anti-terrorism in the first phase and another 1,500 in the second phase.
He said that the training would have begun but government was discussing additional requests presented by the Libyans, adding that it would take weeks to formalise.
Nadal said the training would have started in March, but was postponed because Tripoli had not provided financial guarantees to cover the costs of the exercise.
He said that several countries including Italy, US, Turkey and France were training the Libyan army and police units to rebuild its security organs.
Nadal added that neighbouring countries like Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and Sudan were also contributing to the training efforts.
