The Ministry of External Affairs made it official this week, announcing his appointment.
Rahman will be heading to Tripoli soon to take up his new assignment.

What's the India-Libya connection?

India and Libya go way back—India set up its embassy in Tripoli in 1969.
Since then, they've teamed up on projects like digital governance across Africa and signed deals for economic growth.
Indian companies have worked on hospitals, schools, and infrastructure in Libya.
Plus, events like this year's India-Arab Universities's Presidents's Conference show both countries are keen on learning from each other and building stronger partnerships.
