The British Libyan Business Association (BLBA)) today signed a memorandum of understanding with the Libyan Business Council (LBC). The LBC is the only legally recognised business council in Libya in contrast to other business councils who operate as NGOs. Welcoming the BLBA, Aldali said the LBC wants a strong relationship with the BLBA and its UK companies. He said the BLBA wants to assist the LBC and Libya in implementing its projects. Hancock informed the LBC that a specialist British company in bringing exporters to UK standards will be visiting Tripoli soon.
