Economy Minister Chris Cardona addressed a business networking forum this morning that aims to focus on “Libya’s future potential for business opportunities”.

The event was jointly organized by the Libyan Africa Investment Portfolio and the Libyan Maltese Chamber of Commerce.

Dr Cardona revealed that the networking forum will be “an annual event”, and will continue to be organized by the two key players.

He said that the forum “is designed to promote commercial and business relationships amongst organisations and businesses around the Mediterranean region, through a unique networking forum concept”.  

“Each event will centre on one particular topic and in view of the fact that the launch of the Forum this year, will be coinciding with the visit to Malta of a high level delegation from the Libyan British Business Council, the topic  of the Forum will revolve around Libya's future potential for business opportunities”, Dr Cardona said.

The hope is to “promote commercial partnerships amongst business players in the region, enabling the strength, size, market position, expertise and reputation of these organisations to be the unique and huge resource at the disposal of all participants at the forum,” he concluded.
