Spanish business mission seeks to strengthen trade ties with Libya

Spanish and Libyan companies are set to meet in Tripoli as the Tarragona Chamber of Commerce leads a multisector business mission from 6 to 9 September. The initiative has support from the Economic and Commercial Office of Spain’s Embassy in Libya and the Tripoli Chamber of Commerce.

The delegation includes companies working in food, tobacco and electrical equipment. Its programme centres on business-to-business meetings intended to identify opportunities, explore complementary expertise and develop new commercial partnerships.

The mission is the second organised by the Tarragona chamber and follows closer business contacts between the two countries. A Spanish-Libyan Business Forum held in Madrid in April, organised by the Spanish Chamber of Commerce and the General Union of Libyan Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture, drew strong business participation.

The organisers also point to the launch of a direct air link between Tripoli and Madrid as a sign of growing engagement. The connection is expected to facilitate travel, business contacts and the development of joint projects.
