The Libyan Business Council (LBC) and the Italian Embassy in Tripoli discussed developing industrial zones, the role of the private sector in supporting industrial initiatives and the possibility of benefiting from Italian expertise in this field.
The discussions came during a meeting between Saeed Wanis, a member of the Board of the LBC, and Fabio Giudice the Commercial Attaché Italian Embassy in Tripoli last Wednesday (23 July).
The meeting was held on the sidelines of an expanded meeting that included several LBC members and representatives of the Libyan Cooperative Company for the Management and Development of Industrial Zones at the headquarters of Mansoura Holding Company.
Visa to Italy for LBC members
During the meeting, Wanis affirmed the LBC’s commitment to the development of Libyan Italian economic relations and the need to address the administrative and logistical challenges facing businessmen, especially the (perennial) issue of obtaining visas to enter Italy.
For his part, according to the LBC, Giudice pointed out the importance of these demands and that he will make all necessary efforts to facilitate the procedures for granting visas to LBC members in a way that serves the economic and commercial movement at the level of the private sector.
The LBC said the meeting comes in the context of the continuous efforts to strengthen economic relations between Libya and Italy and is part of a wider series of initiatives implemented by the LBC with the aim of expanding international cooperation and creating a more stable and open economic environment.
