reopened its embassy in the capital of Libya, during an official ceremony presented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Badr Abdel Ati, in which he announced the renewal of its diplomatic activities and its ambition to promote areas of economic cooperation and development between the two countries. ◾ The Egyptian diplomatic return to Tripoli comes after the closure of the headquarters and the consulate since January 2014, following the deterioration of security conditions at that time and the attacks and kidnappings that the diplomatic staff witnessed at the hands of armed elements.
