Al-Mnifi expressed his gratitude for the reopening of the Greek Embassy in Tripoli, and the Consulate in Benghazi. He expressed a desire to consolidate the economic, cultural, educational and security partnership between the two countries. He stressed that “the opportunity given by the existence of the Government of National Unity (GNU) to strengthen relations and translate them on the ground would be through establishing partnerships and implementing projects that benefit both countries.”
