Minister Ali Al-Abed, Minister of Labor and Rehabilitation in the National Unity Government, discussed on Saturday during a meeting with his Palestinian counterpart, Nasri Abu Jaysh, ways and mechanisms of joint cooperation between the two countries in the field of labor, in the presence of the Libyan delegation accompanying the minister, and the Ambassador of Palestine, Ambassador Mohammed Rahal.
The meeting discussed the agreement signed between the two countries last year to attract labor to provide 10,000 job opportunities for Palestinians in Libya, as the country is currently going through a reconstruction phase, which also aims to work on a legal framework for working in the host country, and facilitate obtaining a work opportunity and visa for Libya.
The two ministers emphasized the depth of relations between the two countries, and Libya’s support for Palestine, its people, and the Palestinian national cause. They also discussed mechanisms for implementing the agreement, and the work of the technical team consisting of the two ministries, which will start its work next month, to develop the executive regulations and procedural steps to implement the agreement signed between the two countries, exchange all information, and discuss electronic linking mechanisms to attract Palestinian labor.
For his part, Al-Abed stressed Libya’s support for Palestine, its government, and people, noting that the agreement signed between the two countries will integrate skilled Palestinian labor into the Libyan labor market in various fields and sectors, to contribute to the revitalization of the country’s economic life.
