Throughout the trip, the two nations’ oil firms inked a gas agreement valued at USD8 billion — the biggest single funding in Libya’s energy industry in over 20 years. Libya is the second North African nation that prime minister Giorgia Meloni, three months in charge, took a trip to this week. She is looking to obtain additional provisions of natural gas to sub Russian energy following Moscow’s attack on Ukraine. She earlier took a trip to Algeria, Italy’s major provider of natural gas, where she inked many memorandums. She encountered with Abdel Hamid Dbeibah, who rules one of Libya’s competitive administrations, as well as met with Mohamed Younis Menfi, who rules Libya’s ceremonial presidential council.
