LEES 2026 had a very American flavour this year
LEES had a very American flavour this year. Massad Boulos, Senior Advisor to the President on Arab and Middle Eastern Affairs, was a keynote speaker.
ConocoPhillips and Chevron headlined LEES with signing ceremonies. Prime Minister Aldabaiba and Boulos toured the AmCham Pavilion, which was great fun for the participating companies.
Mike LaRocque, the Commercial and Economic Officer at the Embassy, headlined the US-Libya Roundtable organized by AmCham. We were honoured by the participation of NOC Chairman Massoud Suleiman and Minister of Oil Khalifa Abdulsadek, as well as senior management from our visiting US companies.
Mike also provided Pavilion participants with one of the highlights of the event: a private briefing, taking the opportunity to convey how important commercial engagement with Libya is to the current administration.
