On Sunday 5 June, Her Majesty\u2019s Ambassador to Libya, Caroline Hurndall, formally reopened the British Embassy in Tripoli, which had been closed since 2014. The reopening of the Embassy underlines the UK\u2019s continuing commitment to develop closer cooperation with Libya and to work with Libyans and the UN towards a durable political settlement for Libya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her Majesty, the British Queen, has a historical and personal connection to Libya. The Queen\u2019s second ever-state visit was to Tobruk, where she visited the War Cemetery commemorating British and Commonwealth soldiers who fought and died in North Africa in the Second World War. There she met Libya\u2019s former King, Idris, who invested in Her the Order of Idris the First. This represented an essential step in a vibrant and enduring relationship between our two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
