"Sanalla" calls on the British government to play an active role to end the current closures of oil installations.

Tripoli 10 September 2020 (LANA) - The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Oil Corporation, Engineer Mustafa Sanallah, called on the British government to take an active role to end the current closures of oil installations, indicating the possibility of launching projects worth billions of dollars in the coming years. This came during a speech delivered by Sanalla, on Thursday, to the Libyan-British Business Council in the capital, London, according to a statement by the National Oil Corporation. The National Oil Corporation said that Sanallah demonstrated in his speech the tremendous opportunities that Libya provides to British companies competing at the international level in the oil and gas sector, indicating the possibility of launching projects worth billions of dollars in the coming years if the current closures of oil installations can be ended and the formation of a stable Libyan government. Sanalla warned that British companies could not benefit from a stable and rule of law environment in the Libyan economy unless the international community helped the Libyan leaders to create it. In this regard, Sanallah said: "The United Kingdom has a decisive role to play, not only through reaffirming principles and public expression of support, but also through constant pressure to find solutions and confront those countries that wanted to control Libya to achieve their own goals". He added, "We know that British companies will win very profitable contracts in the oil and gas sector in Libya if there is a level playing field. But not all countries concerned with Libyan affairs at this stage want to see equal opportunities". Sanalla believed that the UK government needs to play an active role in ensuring an end to the current closures of oil installations, calling on it to play its role in creating a fair and just Libyan society based on the rule of law if it wants British companies to achieve prosperity in the Libyan market. ...
