Deputy Minister Shakmak, briefed the audience on the Oil & Gas Ministry’s current priorities and future direction. He also discussed the need and opportunity for investment throughout Libya.

“The opportunity for Investment in Libya ranges to all major sectors throughout Libyan society whether it be private or public. This means that Libyans and the international community have to work hand in hand to see a prosperous Libya,” said Mr.Shakmak.

“Companies who do decide to invest in Libya will find people who are ready to develop their country, excited to see foreign investment and modernization and a commitment to realize a long awaited New Libya.”

Mr.Shakmak was also invited to meet with officials from the US State Department and the Department of Energy where he extended invitations to the upcoming FDI Libya conference.

The attendees included a vast range of US business leaders and experts from a variety of international multi-sector organisations while discussions covered a wide spectrum of issues surrounding the current political and economic development of the new Libya.

Participants included CEOs, Directors and Managing Partners of some of the world’s most influential companies, including Marathon Oil, Conoco Phillips, Patton Boggs LLP, Citi Group, IMF, C. Davis & Associates and the World Bank. Discussion topics ranged from the current security landscape in Libya, and what that means for investors.

FDI Libya initiative has been assisting the new administration with these goals. The Libyan ministers and government officials, including their US and international counterparts, were greatly appreciative of the work done so far by the FDI Libya team in putting the need for foreign investment into Libya on the agenda and renewed their support for the conference in September.

Libya will be a key platform to promote the development agenda of the new government, in all sectors from infrastructure to energy, from education to healthcare development.
