The United Kingdom (UK) has reaffirmed its support for the National Oil Corporation (NOC) and efforts to develop the oil sector as well as boost the Libyan economy, according to a statement published by the NOC on its Facebook page.
This was expressed by the British Ambassador to Libya, Martin Longden, during his meeting on Tuesday with the acting Chairman of the NOC, Masoud Suleiman, at the corporation's headquarters in Tripoli.
The NOC indicated that the meeting discussed ways to enhance cooperation between Libya and the UK in various energy sectors, touching on the public bidding round for oil exploration, which the NOC officially launched on Monday evening during a ceremony that attracted the attention of major global oil companies, as well as heads and members of diplomatic missions in Libya.
The NOC added that Ambassador Longden reaffirmed during the meeting "his country’s support for the National Oil Corporation in achieving its ambitions to develop the Libyan oil sector and revitalize the Libyan economy."
