Former ambassador to Libya George Cassar has passed away, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs and Trade Promotion said.
Cassar was 69.
Dr Cassar joined the Foreign Service in 2009 and served for a number of years in Malta's diplomatic missions abroad in the capacity of ambassador accredited to Libya, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the African Union.
Dr Cassar was instrumental in the evacuation process of Maltese nationals and other expatriates from Libya at the height of the Libyan crises of 2011. He also headed the Maltese delegation in the then inter-governmental Malta-Libya Joint Commission.
The Foreign Affairs Ministry expressed its deepest condolences to Cassar's family.
