The eastern based Libyan authorities reported that more than 100 representatives of Italian companies arrived in Benghazi yesterday to participate in the activities of the Libyan Italian Forum for Development and Reconstruction, to be held in Benghazi from 25 to 26 June.
The Italian delegation included the President of the Italian Chamber of Commerce, several Italian officials, and were met in Benghazi by the Italian Consul and the Italian Ambassador to Libya.
The Italian delegation arrived at Benghazi’s Benina Airport on board a direct ITA flight from Rome – the first direct flight from Rome to Benghazi in 14 years – planned to be a regular service between the two cities.
The arrival of the flight is considered by the eastern based Libyan authorities as one of the most prominent achievements in the field of air transport between Libya and Europe in more than 13 years.
The return of this flight service comes within the framework of a strategic plan by the eastern based Libyan authorities and represents a qualitative leap aimed at reactivating the infrastructure and enhancing the investment environment in the country.
It represents an important gateway for the return of international companies and contributes directly to supporting comprehensive development efforts and the advancement of various sectors inside Libya.
