The head of the Libyan government assigned by the House of Representatives, Osama Hamad, arrived in Egypt today, Sunday, on an official visit, which is his first outside the country.
The Libyan government announced in a statement on its Facebook page that Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly received the head of the government assigned by the House of Representatives, Osama Hamad, in the New Alamein City, where they discussed the role of Egyptian companies in “reconstructing Libya.”
Hamad praised “Egypt’s continuous support for the Libyan people, which we recently witnessed under the directives of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to provide all necessary support and assistance to the brotherly Libyan people, to mitigate the effects and repercussions of Hurricane Daniel, which hit the country last year.”
The Vice President of the Libyan-Egyptian Business Council, Mukhtar Al-Qala’i, announced the participation of four of the largest Egyptian companies in reconstruction projects in Libya, with a business value exceeding 4 billion dollars.
This came during an expanded meeting held last July in Cairo by the Egyptian 10th of Ramadan Industrial Investors Association with members of the Libyan-Egyptian Business Owners Council, which aims to open new markets for Egyptian industry, especially in the city of 10th of Ramadan, with the attendance of 60 companies from the association’s members.
The visit comes at a time when the conflicting parties in Tajoura have reached an agreement to calm the situation and stop the armed clashes that the region has witnessed, and to deploy neutral forces on the contact lines to resolve the conflict, after 9 people were killed and 25 people were injured.
Last Friday, the embassies of five major countries, namely the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy, expressed their concerns about the ongoing military movements in southwestern Libya.
“Given the ongoing stalemate in the political process, such moves could lead to escalation and violent confrontation,” the embassies said in a joint statement.
