On Monday, Richard Norland, the US ambassador to Libya, was appointed as the US special envoy for the war-torn nation.

The United States appointed Richard Norland, the US ambassador to Libya, as the country's special envoy on Monday. The US Department of State's spokesperson, Ned Price, issued a statement on Monday.

“As US Special Envoy, Ambassador Norland will lead US diplomatic efforts to encourage international support for a Libyan-led, comprehensive, and negotiated political solution to the situation, supported by the UN,” Price said in a speech.

Norland, a former diplomat, and three-time ambassador, has been serving as Chief of Mission at the Libya External Office in Tunis since August 2019. He will collaborate closely with main allies to bolster efforts to keep the diplomatic process on course and to guarantee the withdrawal of external forces from Libya.

“Ambassador Norland would also collaborate closely with intergovernmental colleagues in Washington, civil society, and humanitarian collaborators to expand the United States' position in effectively supporting the Libyan people as they pursue long-term stability, protection, and development in their region. The US Special Envoy will also hold Congress up to date on our activities as well, according to the report.

The State Department congratulated Norland for his new and extended involvement in guiding US efforts in Libya and around the world to promote a diplomatic solution to the Libyan dispute.
