<p>The Foreign Secretary raised the issue of compensation for the victims of Qadhafi-sponsored
IRA terrorism during his meeting with Prime Minister Serraj in Tripoli on 4 May 2017
and again on his most recent visit in August. He emphasised again the importance the
UK places on this issue and encouraged the Libyan authorities to engage with UK victims'
groups and their representatives. Prime Minister Serraj expressed sympathy with those
who had suffered from the previous regime, but it was also clear from his discussion
with the Foreign Secretary that the Libyan Government continues to face numerous challenges
and that progress on the issue of compensation is likely to remain slow. We continue
to make clear to the Libyan authorities that this is a priority issue for the UK.
We will continue to raise the subject of legacy at every opportunity.</p>
