Jakarta (VOI News) - In the midst of handling COVID-19 and the current Libyan security situation, the Indonesian Embassy in Tripoli continues to carry out activities in the social, cultural, and economic fields. This activity is expected to provide reinforcement for relations between the two countries. This was conveyed by Amar Ma'ruf, Chargé d'Affaires at the Indonesian Embassy in Tripoli, to Voice of Indonesia in Jakarta, Monday (07/20).

"Libya is currently still facing the efforts of their national reconciliation process and also in the handling of COVID-19, we carry out activities in 2 forms that we hope can provide reinforcement for both nations, namely we try to carry out activities in the socio-cultural and economic fields in a virtual format which is expected with the help of communication media at this time the relationship will be maintained so that it can still provide an opportunity for related parties in related fields to communicate and exchange technical matters," Amar Ma'ruf said.

Amar Ma'ruf further said that another form of activity carried out by the Indonesian Embassy in Tripoli is to hold a limited physical meeting with due regard to health protocols. One of them is by holding activities that are empowering the community by collaborating with local professional institutions and opening trade and other economic communication contacts.

Amar Ma'ruf added that the challenges faced in the relations between Indonesia and Libya today are the geographical location of the two countries which are very far away and the lack of connectivity that connects the two countries. (VOI / ADVENT/ AHM)
