Paris, French senator and President of the French-Libyan Friendship Association Angela Breville called on her government to revive trade relations with Libya, in order to avoid France losing its share of the Libyan market to its Italian, German, Turkish and Chinese competitors, because France has its major companies that can help rebuild Libya.
Angela Breville criticized the slowdown of the French authorities in the reopening of the French consulate in Tripoli, forcing Libyan businessmen to go to the French embassy in Tunis to get a work visa in France, and handing over their passports there for about two weeks before they receive them, which now made businessmen prefer Italy, which offers visas from its embassy in Tripoli in just two days, thus depriving France of investment opportunities with Libyan companies wishing to benefit from the experience of French companies in aviation, energy and health. Water, sanitation, etc.
“The French government should pay attention to the need for France to maintain historical ties with Libya, which is the crossroads of the Mediterranean, said Breville, speaking at the French National Assembly ‘Parliament’, according to the French weekly website Lotte.
