Abstract

The research dealt with Libyan-Egyptian relations from the independence of Libya on December 24, 1951 until the end of the monarchy in 1969. The research focused on the nature of the relations between the two countries, which are characterized by complementary and intertwined relations. Although the Egyptian government did not agree to help Libya economically to bridge its budget deficit upon its independence, it did not skimp on providing Libya with advisors, employees, and teachers with the aim of attracting Libya to its side. Libyan pro-Western policy angered the Egyptians. Despite the position of the Libyan government in support of Egyptian issues, the mere presence of foreign bases on its territory made it an automatic target for Egyptian provocations. Nevertheless, the Kingdom of Libya was keen to strengthen its relations with Era and preserve the independence of its political decision, with the courtesy of the Egyptian government by paying substantial financial aid to it, after the discovery of oil in Libya in substantial commercial quantities.
