The Libyan Embassy in Damascus – SANA Agency
The foreign affairs official at the Libyan Students Union, Hannibal Muhammad al-Sagheer, confirmed to RT that a Libyan delegation arrived in Damascus headed by Abd al-Salam al-Ruqai, who will assume the duties of the charge d’affaires of his country’s embassy in Syria.
Al-Sagheer said that Al-Ruqai’i would carry out these tasks “until further notice, and until the announcement of the national unity government”, which Al-Sagheer said would resume its work from Sirte, according to private sources.
Al-Sagheer explained that the delegation accompanying Al-Ruqai’i consists of First Secretary Ahmed Ali Kilani, and Second Secretary Khalaf Allah Al-Mahdi Moftah, and pointed out that “whether these figures will continue or not, is a private matter for the next Foreign Ministry.”
Al-Sagheer said, “The launch of the delegation is a popular demand, as Libyans today, with all their spectrums, believe in the importance of the relationship with Syria.”

He added that “the Libyan parties in the dialogue committee that is working to form a government of national unity consider that the relationship with Syria should return because the relationship between the two countries is one of brotherhood and affiliation.”
He pointed out that the upcoming government will witness, for the first time since a decade, the participation of supporters of the late Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi.
It is noteworthy that the Libyan embassy in Damascus was inaugurated last March in the presence of the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates (currently the Syrian Foreign Minister) Faisal Al-Miqdad.
The opening ceremony was attended by the Libyan Foreign Minister, Abdul Hadi Al-Hawaij, who said at the time that “the Libyan diplomatic representation in Syria will be at the highest level” and added that an ambassador “will be appointed soon.”
