The head of the Libyan Business Council (LBC), Abdalla Fellah, British Ambassador to Libya, Nick Hopton, and Country Director for Libya at the UK Department of International Trade, Lydie Sheehan, met on Wednesday at the British Embassy in Tripoli to discuss private sector cooperation.

The two sides referred to the distinguished commercial relations between Libya and Britain, and the importance of restoring such commercial relations to their previous state as well as the return of the British embassy with its full capabilities to Libya to facilitate the movement of business leaders to Britain.

The LBC, for its part, stated that it will assist any British company wishing to invest and establish partnerships with the Libyan side for the mutual benefit of both economies.
