A Russian delegation has discussed with Libyan officials arrangements for reopening the Russian embassy in Tripoli.
The Libyan Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation for Consular Affairs, Murad Ahmeima, received a delegation from the Russian Foreign Ministry headed by Director of the Planning Department Haidar Aghanid.
The Russian delegation included the Charge d'Affaires of the embassy in Libya, Djashmed Poltayev, and the mission’s second secretary, Sergei Khabarov.
