According to Lorenzo Tagliavanti, the President of the Rome Chamber of Commerce, the collaboration between Italy and Libya has seen Italian companies play a leading role in implementing important infrastructure projects over the years. This is evident from the recent tripling of contracts awarded to Bonatti, thanks to an $8 billion agreement between the Libyan National Oil Corporation and Eni.
Tagliavanti emphasized the historical and cultural significance of the relationship between Italy and Libya, highlighting how this partnership has cultivated a fertile ground for future cooperation. He stated, “There are 450,000 companies in our city, and we are honored to have our institution chosen to host this important initiative.”
He added that the rich historical traditions and trade connections between the two countries provide a solid foundation for building new growth pathways. He stressed the role of the Rome Chamber of Commerce in facilitating economic exchanges and promoting mutual understanding between Italian and Libyan companies.
The President of the Rome Chamber of Commerce stated, “We are convinced that economic development and peace are essential elements for the well-being of our populations,” noting that meeting with key entrepreneurs provides an opportunity to strengthen relations between the two countries and establish strategic agreements that benefit not only Italian and Libyan companies but also the stability of the entire Mediterranean region.
Tagliavanti pointed out that Libya represents a highly promising economic market for Italian companies, particularly in the energy and infrastructure sectors, as it possesses significant oil resources, making it one of the leading countries in Africa in terms of crude oil reserves.
This statement was made during a roundtable meeting on energy and infrastructure between Libya and Italy, organized by Energy Capital & Power in collaboration with the Italian-Libyan Chamber of Commerce, the Rome Chamber of Commerce, the Italian-Libyan Parliamentary Friendship Group, and the Italian Trade Agency.
