عطلة نهاية أسبوع مميزة ومليئة بالإبداع في #طرابلس! 🖼️📚
قضى فريق @UKinLibya وقتاً رائعاً أمس في معرض الكتاب في بيت علي قانة، وهو منزل عائلي أُعيد إحياؤه ليصبح متحفاً جميلاً يزخر بالفن والثقافة.
اكتشفنا مجموعة رائعة من الكتب واخترنا بعضاً منها، ولا يسعنا الانتظار لبدء قراءتها!

Productive conversation with UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband and UN Personal Envoy for Sudan Pekka Haavisto about U.S.-led efforts to bring peace to Sudan. We discussed ways to achieve progress towards our shared goals of a humanitarian truce, inclusive civilian dialogue, and an expansion of the UN arms embargo.

Today at the UN Security Council I had a simple message for the Russian representative:
It's time to tell Putin the truth. The world knows that Russia is failing in this war. The Russian people can feel it and ministers know it too.
The UK will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.

British-style tea and Libyan ka’ak. Some 🇬🇧- 🇱🇾 ties are especially good to promote!
ALT A large cup of tea served British-style (black tea with milk), and a plate of Libyan ka’ak (filled biscuity cake)
Economic stability is critical for political and social stability and prosperity. Great to have the Governor of the Central Bank of Libya in London to discuss implementation of the unified budget agreement and other economic issues

On Martyrs’ Day 🇱🇾, we remember with appreciation and respect the Lion of the Desert, Omar Al-Mukhtar, and honour the sacrifices of all of Libya’s martyrs, whose memory will forever remain rooted in the nation’s collective memory and spirit.
My biggest piece of advice when applying for a 🇬🇧 Chevening scholarship: make sure you tell a good story about what you’ve done, what you’re going to do, and why the course / university / the U.K. is the bridge between the two
