British Ambassador to Libya, Caroline Hurndall, concluded today her week-long visit to Benghazi, in which she focused on the economy and strengthening the British trade partnership with eastern Libya.
“I’m impressed by the economic growth I’ve seen, from visiting Benghazi’s port to meeting with local businesses,” Hurndall said via Twitter.
Referencing her talks with key leaders in eastern Libyan such as army leader Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar and Parliament Speaker Aguila Saleh, the British diplomat said she “emphasised that it is their responsibility to commit constructively to a political process that leads to elections & long term stability for Libya”.
