CAIRO - 19 March 2022: US Special Envoy and Ambassador to Libya Richard Norland on Thursday visited Tripoli for meetings with a focus on maintaining calm and returning to the path toward elections. Ambassador Norland also co-hosted a meeting of the Berlin Process Economic Working Group in order to strengthen progress in Libya’s economic track, an effort that can address economic disparities and help stabilize the political situation. Ambassador Norland met with fellow Co-chair representatives of the Economic Working Group: UN Coordinator Rai Zenenga, EU Ambassador Jose Sabadell, and Egyptian Ambassador Tamer Mostafa, as well as Central Bank Governor Saddek ElKaber and a representative of the CBL eastern branch. Ambassador Norland and Deputy Assistant Treasury Secretary Eric Meyer (by virtual participation) represented the United States. Ambassador Norland noted that the management of Libya’s oil revenue must be built on the pillar of transparency and the independence of sovereign institutions in order to remain outside the political fray.
