London: The National Development Authority launched the Libya Vision 2030 project from London, aiming to strengthen the Libyan-British partnership to support stability and development in the region.
According to Libyan News Agency, the Authority is overseeing the implementation of this vision, which focuses on developing solar energy, innovative sanitation solutions, and road infrastructure. The initiative also seeks to diversify Libya’s national economy and reduce its reliance on oil by bolstering sectors such as agriculture, industry, logistics, renewable energy, healthcare, and education.
Among the key projects introduced during the launch are the construction of a strategic road network totaling 1,000 kilometers by the year 2030 and the modernization of water networks. Additionally, the Sirte Gulf International Airport project is projected for completion by the end of 2025.
To date, more than 360 infrastructure projects have been completed, with 30 additional projects currently underway, including the Sirte Free Zone, and 10 more in the planning stages. Notable projects in Benghazi include the new international airport west of the city, the free zones of Giuliana and Marisa, Libya’s largest steel plant, and initiatives in international road companies, fuel distribution, services, and advanced investment hospitals.
The Executive Director of the Authority highlighted that enhancing economic stability in Libya will also help alleviate pressures related to irregular migration to Europe. The success of Libya’s Vision 2030 is seen as crucial not only for the country’s prosperity but also as a significant factor in boosting regional stability.
