Libya’s Minister of Economy and Trade, Mohamed Al-Hwaij, recently inspected the ceramic factory in Misrata’s industrial area. He was accompanied by the General Manager of China’s Goodwill-Uganda Ceramics Co. Ltd.
Al-Hwaij reviewed the final preparations and compliance with legal requirements before the factory’s inauguration.
The factory, the largest in North Africa, is a strategic collaboration with China’s Goodwill-Uganda Ceramics Co. Ltd. It represents a significant boost to Libya’s industrial sector and is poised to create numerous job opportunities for Libyans.
Featuring state-of-the-art technology, the factory aims to meet local demand for high-quality ceramics, reducing reliance on imports and promoting self-sufficiency.
The opening of this factory is expected to be a pivotal moment for Libya’s industrial advancement, providing economic benefits and strengthening industrial capabilities. The partnership with Goodwill-Uganda Ceramics Co. Ltd. brings international expertise and investment, underscoring the importance of international cooperation in achieving industrial growth.
Beijing and Tripoli are rebuilding ties after China withdrew its investors in 2011. Before Libya’s 2011 revolution, China had extensive interests in the country, with 75 Chinese companies involved in major projects valued at over $20 billion.
However, these investments were abruptly halted due to the civil war, leading to the largest evacuation of Chinese nationals in history. As security improves, China is gradually resuming its investments in Libya.
