he Moroccan Consulate in Benghazi is set to resume services for the Moroccan community in Libya from the beginning of next year, as confirmed by a Libyan diplomatic source to Hespress. The Consul General, Said Benkirane, recently met with Libyan officials to discuss strengthening diplomatic relations.

The Moroccan community in Libya has long called for the reopening of consulates in Benghazi and Tripoli, and this demand has grown stronger after recent floods affected the region, causing administrative and legal issues due to the lack of consular services.

Nasser Bourita, the Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced plans to reopen consulates in Tripoli and Benghazi, and appointments of new Consuls General have taken place, marking progress in restoring consular services in these locations. Morocco had closed its diplomatic missions in Libya in 2015 after a terrorist attack on its embassy in Tripoli.
