Iranian diplomat, Ain Allah Souri, said he had held promising talks with Libyan officials during his visit to Tripoli, saying they would both exert efforts to expand bilateral economic and trade relations.
The Iranian embassy in Libya resumed its diplomatic presence after that visit, and the first Iranian cargo ship arrived at the port of Misrata last Wednesday after a suspension of more than ten years, according to the Iranian ISNA agency on Sunday.
Souri, who headed the visiting Iranian delegation to Tripoli, indicated that the security situation in Libya had improved significantly, and living conditions were completely normal, expressing hope for the development of bilateral relations between Tehran and Tripoli.
Tehran announced earlier this year its intention to reopen its embassy in Libya, and later sent a diplomatic delegation to Tripoli to reopen the embassy.
On July 12, the Free Zone Administration in Misrata announced the resumption of the work of the Iranian shipping line “IRISL” in Misrata port through the shipping agent “Germa” Shipping Agency.
About a week ago, the Libyan ambassador to the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ali Fadil, presented his credentials to Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi, and the two sides discussed cooperation between the two countries.
