The Maltese Ambassador to Libya, Charles Saliba, told our source on Monday that the economic partnership between Malta and Libya is not new. Even during difficult times when Libya was under siege and sanctions, Malta invested heavily in the country.
The ambassador emphasized to our source that Valletta—being the closest city to Tripoli—has always viewed Libya as a promising country, with opportunities available across all sectors. Despite Malta’s small size, its contributions have always been significant, and Malta was often the first to offer support to Libya.
The ambassador added that economic cooperation spans various sectors, from education to other fields, noting that Malta has used Libya as a production hub and has played an important role in the lives of many Libyans across different domains.
He further noted, “On a personal level, I still believe that, even under the current circumstances, many opportunities exist—and I am confident that Maltese companies can be part of Libya’s development.”
