A new Labour government in Malta will strengthen business relations with Libya if it gets elected in the coming March 9 elections, Labour leader Dr Joseph Muscat said on Friday.
Mr. Muscat told a delegation from the Maltese-Libyan Chamber of Commerce that a Labour government would appoint a European Affairs minister who would find ways and get some understanding from the EU of the special relations between Malta and Libya that would help in reducing visa restrictions between the two countries.
Saying that the relations with Libya have “an important economic and strategic value”, Dr Muscat said that a Labour government would focus on Malta’s neighbouring Mediterranean states including Libya.
Maltese wanting to start a business in Libya were having visa problems and said that methods to reduce bureaucracy while observing Schengen rules had to be found, Dr. Muscat said.
A year ago, Dr. Muscat strongly defended better relations with Libya saying there were four priorities that needed to be focused on in order for such a goal to be reached.
Addressing the New Libya Forum held on 26 February 2012, Dr Muscat said that these priorities include simplifying the issuing of visas, setting up a financial vehicle that would enable research between the University of Malta and Libyan institutes in areas such as renewable energy, provide assistance to help Libya build its human resources capacity in education and healthcare, and set up a proper business centre in Tripoli offering services and resources for Maltese wanting to do business in Libya.
