“Due to the deteriorating security environment in Libya, the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development has decided to temporarily suspend its operations at its office in Tripoli. We have not suspended diplomatic relations with Libya.
The Canadian Embassy in Libya is currently closed, but will continue to operate remotely from the Canadian Embassy in Tunisia until conditions allow for its reopening.
This is a temporary measure and has no relation to our continuing and long-standing diplomatic relations with Libya.
Canada remains committed to support the Libyan people in their efforts to build a stable and secure democracy.”
