‘Opening a new chapter’: Syria reopens embassy in Libya after talks

Syria and Libya have agreed to reopen Syria’s embassy in Tripoli, which had been closed since 2012, and establish a cooperation committee to enhance bilateral ties. The agreement came during talks between Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah and Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shaibani. The two nations also plan to open a Syrian consulate in Benghazi and address issues such as security cooperation, counterterrorism, financial dues, and the status of prisoners and refugees. The reopening marks a shift following Syria’s transition from Bashar al-Assad’s regime to a new government, with the Syrian flag raised at the Tripoli embassy in 2025. Libyan officials described the move as the beginning of a 'new chapter' in their relationship.
