{{Politics of Libya|relations}}
The '''foreign relations of Libya''' were largely reset at the end of the [[2011 Libyan Civil War|Libyan Civil War]], with the overthrow of [[Muammar Gaddafi]] and the [[Second Libyan Civil War]]. The current [[Minister of Foreign Affairs (Libya)|Minister of Foreign Affairs]] since 15 March 2021 is [[Najla Mangoush]]. Although many foreign embassies in [[Tripoli, Libya|Tripoli]] closed down in 2014 due to the [[Libyan crisis (2011–present)|conflict in Libya from 2011 onwards]], by the end of 2017 thirty diplomatic missions had reopened in the Libyan capital.<ref>Cochrane, Richard (16 November 2017).

== Foreign policy history ==
{{Main|Foreign relations of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi}}

The foreign relations of the [[History of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi|Libya under Muammar Gaddafi]] (1969–2011) underwent much fluctuation and change. They were marked by severe tension with the West and by other national policies in the Middle East and Africa, including the Libyan government's financial and military support for numerous paramilitary and rebel groups.

The NTC reacted harshly after several members of the Gaddafi government, including members of his family, entered Algeria and were granted [[political asylum]] in [[Algiers]]. On 29 August 2011, it said that Algeria sheltering Gaddafi or his family members would be viewed as an "act of aggression".<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-libya-algeria-gaddafis-idUSTRE77S47020110829|title=Rebels to seek return of Gaddafi family from Algeria|date=29 August 2011|publisher=Reuters}}</ref> However, while the Algerian government permitted Gaddafi's relatives to remain in the country, it warned [[Ayesha Gaddafi|Aisha Gaddafi]] at least twice over political comments she made criticising the NTC while in Algeria.<ref name="algeria">{{cite news|url=http://english.alarabiya.net/articles/2012/04/16/208232.html|agency=Al Arabiya|title=Algeria will not host those that threaten Libya: Abdel Jalil|date=16 April 2012|access-date=16 April 2012}}</ref>

On 16 April 2012, Libyan leader [[Mustafa Abdul Jalil]] met with Algerian President [[Abdulaziz Bouteflika]] in [[Algiers]]. After the meeting, he expressed confidence "that [Algeria] would not shelter those who represent a threat for Libya’s security", an apparent reference to members of Gaddafi's family who were granted asylum in Algeria the previous year. Libyan and Algerian officials also discussed cooperation on border security.<ref name="algeria"/>

After Saadi Gaddafi made comments calling for an uprising against the NTC in Libya, a spokesman for the Libyan interim authority said on 11 February 2012 that Tripoli demanded Niger extradite the Gaddafi son and other ex-regime officials to face trial in Libya. The Nigerien government must send the fugitives from justice back to their home country, the NTC spokesman warned, in order for Niger to "preserve its relationship and interests" in Libya. However, Nigerien government officials rejected the demand, citing the country's policy of not extraditing anyone who could face [[capital punishment]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2012/02/2012212105530677812.html|agency=Al Jazeera|title=Libya demands Niger hand over Gaddafi's son|date=12 February 2012|access-date=12 February 2012}}</ref>

Diplomatic relations between [[Greece]] and Libya date back to 1952, when Libya's independence was formally recognized by the [[United Nations]]. Relations between the two countries had been traditionally friendly, especially during the 1980s and 1990s, when the personal friendship between [[Muammar Gaddafi]] and Greek socialist Prime Minister [[Andreas Papandreou]] contributed to close ties between the two countries. Greece provided continued military training in its military academies to future Libyan career officers, well into the early 2000s.

Due to the [[Libyan Civil War (2014–present)|Libyan Civil War]], in 2014 Greece closed its embassy in [[Tripoli, Libya|Tripoli]], while Libya continued to be represented in Greece through its embassy in [[Athens]].

==NTC appointed representatives during the civil war==
{{Confusing|date=August 2011}}<!--Countries do not host missions of the NTC, but rather [[Diplomatic missions of Libya]], which may be loyal to either Gaddafi or the NTC. This really belongs in the diplomatic missions article, or at the very least, correct explanations provided in this article. -->
The National Transitional Council had opened representative missions abroad during the civil war. Several countries had recognised the council as the sole "governing authority" in Libya and some of these countries invited the council to appoint diplomatic envoys and to take over Libyan embassies in their capitals. A number of embassies and diplomatic offices in other countries have declared allegiance to the council unilaterally, but it is unclear whether they are in communication with it.
