The Prime Minister of the Libyan Government of National Unity (GNU), Abdel-Hamid Dbaiba called on Egyptian companies to participate in the rebuilding of Libya and develop its infrastructure.
Dbaiba added that “there are many available opportunities for Egyptian companies to be present in the Libyan market.” He confirmed the presence of Egyptian paints, insulation materials, and pipes in the Libyan market, and their adoption for use in current infrastructure projects.
This came during his visit to the Egyptian pavilion at the Libya Build Expo, which opened on Monday and is running until Thursday. 20 companies from the Egyptian chemical industries sector are participating in the event.
The PM called for intensifying the participation of Egyptian companies in specialized exhibitions held in Libya, and organizing a number of commercial visits and missions for Egyptian companies from various sectors.
The Executive Director of the Chemical Industries Export Council, Mohamed Magid, revealed that he had asked Dbaiba to support the participation of Egyptian companies in upcoming projects. As well as to approve the registration of these companies as suppliers of production requirements for projects carried out within the country.
Magid added that the Dbaiba “promised to provide full support to Egyptian companies, and that the door is open to all Egyptian companies in the projects currently being implemented.”
Days ago, a high-ranking Egyptian delegation from the Egyptian Intelligence Service (GIS) arrived in the Libyan capital, Tripoli, on Wednesday, the GNU reported.
Dbaiba and the Egyptian delegation discussed the results of the Libyan-Egyptian Committee, which was launched two years ago. They also discussed the steps taken by Cairo to facilitate the granting of visas to Libyans, and joint coordination in several files.
In another meeting, the Egyptian delegation discussed the launching of projects implemented by the consortium of Egyptian companies.
Relations between Cairo and Libya’s GNU were tense, after the eastern-based Parliament assigned a rival government headed by ousted PM Fathi Bashagha.
