The government will be doing its utmost to strengthen commercial relations between Malta and Libya, Foreign Minister George Vella said today.

He was speaking during a meeting with a delegation from the Matla-Libyan Chamber of Commerce. The meeting was also attended by Ministers Chris Cardona and Manwel Mallia.

The meeting discussed several issues of interest to Maltese businesses in Libya and on how cooperation between the two countries could be increased for a bigger presence of Malta in Libya.

Libya was now returning to stability and this should serve as an advantage for those who wanted to explore trade opportunities between the two countries.

The Maltese government wanted to improve relations by addressing the difficulties that could come up, including those related to the issuing of visas.
