Tripoli | January 18, 2026 – The head of the Audit Bureau met today with a delegation from the Turkish Court of Accounts, which included experts specialized in the fields of information technology, data analysis, and artificial intelligence.
The meeting emphasized the importance of implementing the terms of the agreement signed between the two sides, enhancing technical cooperation, and exchanging expertise. This is expected to contribute to the development of digital infrastructure and improve the institutional performance efficiency of the Bureau.
