Committee for Libya Africa Transit Corridors Project convened with Niger Chargé d’affaires – agree to develop MoU

The Libya Africa Investment Portfolio (LAIP) reported yesterday that its Joint High Committee for the Libya Africa Transit Corridors convened last Tuesday (20 May) with the Chargé d’affaires of the Republic of Niger’s Embassy to Libya to discuss project cooperation.

Attendees comprised the committee head, who serves as Undersecretary of the Ministry of Transport for Land Transport Affairs, alongside the Director of Strategic Planning at the Libya Africa Investment Portfolio and the Director General of the Land Transport Authority. A representative from the International Cooperation Department at Libya’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs also participated.

The committee outlined the project’s components and strategic objectives, emphasising its intended economic and social impact across Libya, Niger, and the broader African continent through improved trans-Saharan trade and regional connectivity.

LAIP reported that Niger’s Chargé d’affaires responded positively to the proposal, noting Libya’s decision to route a strategic pathway through Niger.

Both parties agreed to develop a Memorandum of Understanding as an initial framework for bilateral cooperation on the project.

LAIP said the Libya Africa Transit Corridors Project forms part of Libya’s strategy to strengthen regional connections with neighbouring African nations. Implementation plans feature two primary routes: Misrata-Tamanhint-Agadez (Niger) and Benghazi-Kufra-Sudan.
