France will reopen its embassy in Libya on Monday. The move is significant due to the French government’s alleged support for the Libyan National Army, which fought the Tripoli-based government, during the Libyan civil war.
French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Tuesday the reopening of the French Embassy in Tripoli. He was speaking alongside the head of Libya’s Presidential Council, Mohammad Younes Menfi, in Paris. Macron also pledged to work with Libya on its transition to democracy and on economic and security matters. Menfi thanked France for its support at the meeting.
