Belarus has unveiled a set of initiatives to strengthen cooperation with Libya, focusing on agriculture, healthcare training, and public transport development. The proposals were announced during a high-level government delegation’s visit to Benghazi, led by Belarusian Deputy Prime Minister Viktar Karankevich.
As part of the visit, Belarusian Minister of Agriculture and Food, Yury Gorlou, told Belarus 1 TV that his country is ready to invest its agricultural expertise in Libya by launching wheat cultivation projects and converting the harvest into animal feed. He added that Belarus plans to support the construction of a flour mill and processing facility in Libya, in collaboration with leading Belarusian companies.
The visit also marked the inauguration of the “Belarus House” in Benghazi — a new business hub designed to facilitate commercial meetings, partnerships, and contract negotiations. Deputy PM Karankevich highlighted that the centre would serve as a platform for implementing joint venture projects across multiple sectors.
In a broader meeting between the two delegations, discussions covered industrial cooperation, healthcare, agriculture, education, mining, and geological services. Both parties also agreed to enhance parliamentary coordination between Libya and Belarus.
Additionally, the Belarusian delegation toured several Libyan healthcare facilities and explored ways to support the sector through professional training, provision of equipment, and pharmaceutical supplies.
This visit comes as part of ongoing efforts to deepen bilateral ties and expand Belarusian presence in Libya’s infrastructure, industrial, and development sectors.
