Dr Muscat looked forward to a stronger relationship between Malta and Libya not just from the economic aspect but also on a friendship basis.

Mr al Shahoumi was invited to Malta by the Labour Party to take part in a conference organised by its international secretary on the 40 years of bilateral relations between the two countries.

He said that the PL’s invitation confirmed the very good relations between Libya and the Labour Party. He paid tribute to all the Maltese who worked for the bilateral relations between the two countries to continue strengthening.
