The diplomat mentioned that the Russian embassy had to leave Libya in 2014 due to a civil conflict and worked from Tunisia since then.
"We are now developing a full-fledged work and have in mind to establish contacts with the widest range of representatives of Libya. And it seemed to me that Libyans are also interested in communicating with us, hearing our assessments and point of view," Aganin said.
