Pakistan and Libya sign $4B arms deal amid conflict
Pakistan and Libya have signed a big deal worth $4 billion to sell weapons.
This happened even though there is a ban on selling arms to Libya.
The deal is between Pakistan's top military leader and Libya's leader, Khalifa Haftar.
Libya has been in a long war between Haftar's army and the recognized government.
This deal might make the war more complicated because it involves other countries' interests.
The deal shows how countries sometimes make agreements that might not follow all the rules, especially in places where there is a lot of fighting and different groups want control.
Pakistan's Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir met Libya's Field Marshal Khalifa Belqasim Haftar last week.
A $4 billion arms deal was signed between Pakistan and Libya, despite a ban on arms sales to Libya.
The deal involves Pakistan selling weapons to the Libyan National Army (LNA) led by Khalifa Haftar.
Libya is in a prolonged conflict between the LNA and the government led by Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh.
The deal highlights the geopolitical complexities and ongoing war in Libya.
