Leadership Insight Series: Libya
February 21, 2019 | Houston, Texas
The
Libyan government has earmarked $50 billion in this year’s budget to
upgrade outdated facilities and improve its oil and gas production and
downstream operations. With better infrastructure, Libya could achieve
its plan to expand oil output to 2mb/d by 2022. To that end, the Libyan
House of Representatives has issued a decree to send high-level
decision-makers to discuss current and upcoming commercial opportunities
in Libya’s oil sector, infrastructure projects, and much more.
The Bilateral Chamber is pleased to invite you to join us for a roundtable discussion on the current state of affairs in Libya from the perspective of a member of the Libyan Parliament and from the Libyan Governor representative to OPEC.

April 6-11, 2019
The Bilateral Chamber is pleased to support the U.S. Department of Commerce and the International Trade Administration (ITA) as they lead a Healthcare Technology & Health Services Trade Mission to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar on April 6-11, 2019.

- Gain access to first-hand market information, and one-on-one meetings with business contacts, including potential partners, as well as government officials.
- Position themselves to enter or expand their presence in the Saudi, Kuwaiti, and Qatari markets.
