International organisations such as OPEC, and the International Atomic Energy Agency will contribute to the summit.
It is due to showcase energy potential, foster partnerships, and drive economic growth.
The statement highlighted that “innovation, ambition, and diversity will take center stage in Libya’s energy opportunities at the Libya Energy and Economy Summit,” with the summit’s theme focused on “Partnerships for Energy and Economic Opportunities.”
Aoun stressed that “approximately one-third of Libya’s land and sea has not yet been explored for hydrocarbons, in addition to the diverse resource base for future production.” He expects that “the recent surge in interest from international operators will unleash investment opportunities in the market.”
