Foreign ambassadors return to Libya under new government

Tripoli, (IINA) - France, Britain and Spain have sent back ambassadors to Tripoli as the international community showed solidarity with the UN-brokered unity government for Libya, The Guardian reported Thursday.
It is the diplomats’ first return since all envoys fled the country in 2014 during the chaotic civil war. Most of the foreign embassies had been closed for security reasons as Tripoli became the focus of heavy clashes between rival militias.
The three diplomats were to meet deputies of the prime minister-designate, Fayez Serraj, at a heavily guarded naval base in Tripoli, which is acting as the temporary headquarters for the putative government.
The UN-recognized parliament is expected to meet on Monday for a vital vote of confidence in the new administration, the next step in asserting its authority in the country.
