French Ambassador in Libya discusses prospects for joint cooperation with Head of the Audit Bureau.

Tripoli is the capital and largest city of Libya, with a history dating back to the 7th century BC when it was founded by the Phoenicians. It later became a significant part of the Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire, which left a lasting architectural and cultural influence on its historic medina. Today, it serves as the country’s major political, economic, and cultural center.

Libya is a North African country with a rich history that includes ancient Phoenician and Greek settlements, most notably at Cyrene, and later Roman rule. It was part of the Ottoman Empire before Italian colonization in the early 20th century, gaining independence as a kingdom in 1951. The nation’s modern history was dominated by Muammar Gaddafi’s lengthy rule from 1969 until the 2011 revolution and subsequent period of instability.

The French Embassy in Libya is a diplomatic mission located in Tripoli, representing France’s interests in the country. It has a complex history, having been targeted and damaged during the 2011 Libyan Civil War and subsequently operating from temporary locations or with reduced capacity due to ongoing security concerns.

The Audit Bureau is an independent governmental institution responsible for overseeing and auditing public finances to ensure transparency and accountability. Its history typically traces back to the establishment of modern state financial administration systems, often in the 19th or 20th century, as nations formalized mechanisms for fiscal control.
