The Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah inaugurated Tuesday the 51st edition of the Tripoli International Fair, with the broadest international participation seen in years, according to the Government of National Unity, which added that Dbeibah had emphasized that Tripoli International Fair was not merely an annual economic event, but a symbol of Libya’s economic and cultural identity.
He noted that the government had successfully reclaimed all fairgrounds and properties through legal channels to preserve this national legacy, which is one of the oldest fairs in the region. He said that the Government of National Unity views exhibitions and conferences as vital tools for driving development and enhancing the investment climate.
He announced the launching of the “Tripoli Exhibition and Conference Center” project, which is expected to become one of the largest specialized centers in North Africa, built to the highest international standards.
Dbeibah also toured the fairgrounds, visiting various sections and engaging with participating companies, as he listened to presentations from organizers about the projects and displays featured this year. This year’s edition sees participation from over 30 countries across different continents, alongside 500 local and international companies operating across various sectors and industries.
The Tripoli International Fair is considered one of the oldest in the region, having been established in 1927. It serves as a platform for trade exchange and connectivity between Libya and the world.
