The Director of the Media Office of Misrata Free Zone (MFZ), Alaa El-Din Baba, confirmed in an exclusive interview with Libya Herald, that a memorandum of understanding was signed between MFZ and the Belgian Port of Antwerp.
Antwerp Port is the second largest port in Europe and one of the most important ports that operate with environmentally friendly methods and mechanisms, Baba added.
The MoU was signed on the sidelines of the International Conference on Ports and Free Zones (ICPFZ) held in Misrata from 18-20 November.
