The Director General of the so-called “Libya Development and Reconstruction Fund,” Belgassim Haftar, agreed with Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani to establish specialized technical committees to oversee the implementation of agreed-upon projects and to develop executive frameworks for a joint work strategy between the two countries.
The meeting took place on Wednesday at the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Rome, in the presence of officials from the ministry, according to a statement published by the Libya Development and Reconstruction Fund on its Facebook page.
According to the Fund, Belgassim and Tajani discussed ways to enhance bilateral cooperation in development and reconstruction, particularly in the health, education, agriculture, infrastructure, transportation, and air cargo sectors.
The discussions also focused on resuming direct flights between Libya and Italy, a key issue in strengthening economic and diplomatic ties between the two nations.
