Italian Ambassador to Libya, Gianluca Alberini, held a meeting with the President of the General Union of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture in Libya, Mohamed Al-Raied, alongside a delegation of Libyan entrepreneurs. The meeting comes a month after the Italy-Libya Business Forum and focused on evaluating the outcomes of the event and discussing next steps to enhance bilateral trade relations.

Italy remains Libya’s top trading partner, the leading investor in the country, and the first European nation to grant Schengen visas to Libyan citizens. Additionally, Italy is the first European country to resume direct flights with Libya, marking a significant milestone in the economic and diplomatic ties between the two nations.

This meeting underscores the commitment of both countries to strengthen their economic partnerships and pave the way for future collaboration.

Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations.

Libya’s economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya’s economy.

The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions.

The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition.

Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges.
