France declared Tuesday that it will reopen its embassy in Libya’s capital Tripoli and asked for immediate withdrawal of foreign fighters.
The announcement, which came a week after Libya’s new interim government took office, was made after Mohammad Younes Menfi, the new head of Libya’s Presidential Council, and the council’s vice president Musa al-Koni met with President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace in their first official overseas visit.
The embassy will be opened next Monday, more than six years after it was closed down as the country descended into a civil war in July 2014.
