Japan sees “some recovery in the local security situation in Libya,” Yoko Kamikawa, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan said during the visit of Vice President of the Libyan Presidential Council Abdalla Al-Lafi to Tokyo last week. During the visit, the two agreed to work to strengthen Japanese-Libyan relations, including economic cooperation. Kamikawa expressed Japan’s support for stability in Libya. It will be recalled that on 16 January, the Japanese Embassy in Libya announced the reopening of its office in Tripoli. In the short term, the embassy will return to work with a limited number of personnel and activities.
