Maltese Foreign Minister Evarist Bartolo has confirmed that the Maltese Embassy in Tripoli is to open very soon.
Bartolo’s statement was made during a phone call with the Prime Minister-elect, Abdul-Hamid Dbeibah, according to a statement by the Maltese government.
The Maltese top diplomat explained that the preparations for reopening the embassy in Tripoli as well as the consulate-general, have reached advanced stages, indicating that the Maltese representative offices will be active in a few weeks.
