The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has officially announced the reopening of its office in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, following a closure that lasted nearly a decade.

The announcement was made during a ceremony held in Tripoli on Thursday under the theme: “Celebrating Education, Culture, and Science with UNESCO,” in the presence of the Prime Minister of the Libyan Government of National Unity (GNU), Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh.

In his keynote address, Prime Minister Dbeibeh emphasized that the reopening of the UNESCO office is a “fundamental step reflecting the restoration of the Libyan state’s standing in international forums.” He further noted that “this move underscores Libya’s readiness for openness and partnership with the international community, stemming from the government’s belief that investing in human capital and knowledge is the core pillar for achieving a comprehensive national renaissance and sustainable stability.”

For his part, the Director of the UNESCO Regional Office, Mohamed Cheref, remarked that “Libya was among the first Arab nations to join the organization.” He announced plans to sign a joint project titled “Enhancing Infrastructure and Vital Technology” in cooperation with Libya’s General Authority for Scientific Research, aimed at supporting technical capacities and developing the country’s research environment.
