TRIPOLI, Libya (AA) - A high-level diplomatic delegation from Egypt will visit Libya’s capital to reopen its embassy, a Libyan official said Sunday.

In a statement to Anadolu Agency, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammed Al-Qablawi said the delegation of diplomats and security personnel will pay an official visit to Tripoli for a few days.

Al-Qablawi added that Egypt's embassy in Tripoli will be reopened Monday.

The visit will be the second by a high-level Egyptian delegation to Tripoli since 2014.

Libya has been torn by civil war since the ouster of late ruler Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
