The Chargé d’Affairs of the German embassy to Libya, Sven Crosby, offered his country’s assistance in reactivating some of the closed factories in Libya, and providing a safe environment for companies wishing to work in those factories. He also expressed Berlin’s interest in projects in the field of oil and gas to develop Libya’s ability to supply Europe with energy.
Crosby’s remarks came during his meeting with the Minister of Oil and Gas, Mohammed Oun, who noted that the German “Wintershall” company was one of the first firms to sign concession contracts at the end of the 1950s and succeeded in producing oil in the 1970s in Libya after making major discoveries in the Sirte Basin, according to a statement by the Ministry on Sunday.
