Italy will reopen its embassy in Tripoli today, which was closed in 2015 along with all other Western embassies due to violence. Announcing the re-opening, Italy's foreign ministry said, the reopening of the embassy shows confidence in the process of stabilising the country. <br/><br/>Earlier, Interior Minister Marco Minniti held talks with Libyan officials on cooperation in the fight against illegal immigration and terrorism. Libya's Foreign Minister Mohamad Taher Siala said, Libya have agreed to build new relations of cooperation on the basis of the friendship treaty signed in 2008. <br/><br/>The embassy of Italy, a former colonial power in Libya, was one of the last western missions to close in February 2015 after a coalition of militias seized the capital Tripoli. Diplomatic missions in Libya have been targeted in recent years, including in 2012 when an attack on the US consulate in the eastern city of Benghazi killed ambassador Chris Stevens and three other American staff.
