According to French intelligence website Africa Intelligence, Belqasim Haftar, Director of Libya’s Reconstruction and Development Fund and son of Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, is on his way to Washington D.C. this week for a series of key economic discussions.
The main objective of the visit, as per the report, is to attract American companies to invest and establish operations in eastern Libya. Belqasim is reportedly working to position the region as a viable destination for international business amid reconstruction efforts.
The highlight of the trip will be a two-day forum on development and reconstruction in Libya, which Belqasim Haftar is set to host in Washington on April 28–29. The event is expected to gather U.S. government representatives, private sector stakeholders, and international institutions to discuss opportunities and challenges in post-conflict development.
This visit underscores ongoing efforts by eastern Libyan authorities to bolster international partnerships and secure funding and expertise for large-scale infrastructure and development projects across the region.
