The U.S. Embassy in Libya, led by Chargé d’Affaires Jeremy Berndt announced it is excited to strengthen its collaborative efforts with Amideast, aiming to broaden English language education throughout the country. This initiative comes as part of a broader commitment to educational and professional development in the region.
During a recent meeting with Amideast President and CEO, Ambassador Greta C. Holtz, and her team, Berndt expressed enthusiasm about the ongoing partnership between the two organisations. “We are pleased to host Ambassador Holtz and her team to discuss our partnership and joint efforts to expand English language education across Libya,” Berndt stated.
The collaboration has already seen significant achievements, including professional training for Libyan teachers and opportunities for Libyan youth and professionals to participate in U.S.-funded educational exchange programs. These programs allow participants to travel and study in the United States, gaining invaluable international experience and skills.
Looking ahead, the U.S. Embassy and Amideast are committed to increasing participation in these exchange and professional development opportunities. “We look forward to broadening participation in these exchange and professional opportunities in the years to come,” Berndt added.
This ongoing partnership is a testament to the shared goals of the U.S. Embassy and Amideast to foster educational growth and professional opportunities in Libya, contributing to the country’s long-term development and international relations.
Days ago, Libya’s newly appointed Oil and Gas Minister, Khalifa Abdulsadek, and Finance Minister Khaled Al-Mabrouk engaged in a productive discussion with Geoffrey Pyatt, the Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources at the U.S. Department of State.
“The fruitful meeting centred around efforts to draw US companies to Libya’s vital energy sector,” Pyatt said.
Pyatt highlighted that the discussions revolved around strategies for stabilising global markets, methane reduction, gas retrieval, carbon capture and storage (CCUS), and renewable energy objectives.
