A Turkish business delegation is set to visit Libya within the next two weeks to assess how Turkish companies and banks can help rebuild the war-torn country and secure its energy needs, two people familiar with the plan told Reuters Wednesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ankara has made increasingly clear its ambitions for lasting cooperation with Tripoli on oil exploration, construction, banking and manufacturing after its military support helped the U.N.-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) reverse a 15-month offensive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sources said politicians could join the upcoming trip by what they called a “committee” of business representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They will craft a business plan and initially focus on meeting Libya’s energy needs and rebuilding and renewing its infrastructure, the Turkish official and industry official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The power cuts in the country and solutions to meet the rising demand were said to be among the topics discussed during the meeting last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Karadeniz Holding, Turkish operator of floating electricity plants, known as powerships, last week said it is preparing a bid to supply up to 1,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity to Libya and will submit it soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before Turkey officially threw its support behind the GNA, Turkish builders had worked on projects in Libya. The backlog of Turkish contract work there amounts to $16 billion, a sector official said in January.
