Poltaev: “There are plans to reopen the Russian embassy, and a decision was signed regarding the resumption of our diplomatic presence in Libya”
The Chargé d’Affairs at the Embassy of Russia in Libya, Jamshid Poltaev, stated exclusively to our source: “Yes, there are plans to reopen the Russian embassy and the decision was taken at the highest level. The Russian President signed a decision on resuming our diplomatic presence in Libya. But the questions still remain because they are related to the political situation and security in Libya. In addition, the building in which our embassy was located is already old and unusable, so we will need to search for a new building and do not forget that Libya and Russia have very good and strong relations.”
He added: “We hope for stability in Libya and that the Libyans will be able to organize themselves and arrange things at least in the capital, and then we will resume our presence there in the meantime. Of course, we are not sitting here and not waiting, we are making concrete efforts to ensure the return of our embassy, but I cannot talk about specific dates yet for the return of the embassy.”
