STORYLINE:
British Prime Minister David Cameron pledged to help Libya's police and army as he made an unannounced visit to the North African country's capital of Tripoli on Thursday.
Cameron, fresh off a visit to Algeria, where he struck a security partnership, said Britain was prepared to provide training and advice to Libya amid growing concerns over security in the region.
The Prime Minister toured a police training centre on the outskirts of Tripoli, telling police recruits it was "very good to be back".
His office said Cameron will hold bilateral talks in Libya and discuss how Britain can help build a "strong, prosperous" and democratic Libya.
The talks will explore what support and expertise the UK can offer to strengthen security and defeat terrorism, Downing Street added.
Cameron's visit to the Libyan capital comes just days after Britain's Foreign Office warned of reports a potential threat against the UK embassy in Tripoli.
That warning came shortly after the Foreign Office joined other governments in urging their citizens in Benghazi, Libya's second largest city, to evacuate in response to what was described as an imminent threat to Westerners.
The Foreign Office on Thursday would not comment on the status of those threats but said it was "taking appropriate measures."
The prime minister is later expected to travel to Liberia for a development conference.
