Saad Al-Hanish, the Deputy Minister of Economy and Trade for Economic Affairs in the National Unity Government, led the Libyan delegation to the fifth ministerial meeting of the COMESA, EAC, and SADC tripartite communities, which was held via video technology on Wednesday.

The meeting reviewed reports from the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth meetings of the sectoral tripartite ministerial committee concerned with trade, customs, financial and economic affairs, and internal affairs.

Al-Hanish emphasized the economic importance of this tripartite group in developing trade exchanges between member states and supporting innovative ideas, calling on the General Secretariat of the tripartite blocs to approve Libya’s request to host the General Secretariat headquarters and to support local and international efforts to achieve political and economic stability in the country.
