In a bid to develop intra-trade relations and trade between Libya and Tunisia, a joint working strategy has been adopted by the Export Promotion Centre (CEPEX) and the Libyan Export Development Centre for 2023.
This strategy was outlined in a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the two sides in Tunis, as part of the implementation of an MoU dating back to June 2013, and the annexe to the MoU concluded in 2020.
According to the Press Release from CEPEX, the strategy provides for the organisation of business missions in both countries to foster partnership in the marketing field and create opportunities for cooperation and experience sharing in the field of mission organisation and management and reinforce the presence of both countries in African markets.
It stated that the strategy will further provide for the organisation of the Tunisian-Libyan participation in the Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF) and the supervision of exporting companies.
It also aims to learn about and build on successful experiences in terms of export development and capacity building in the field of export value chains.
The MoU was inked by CEPEX CEO Mourad Ben Hassine and Director General of the Libyan Export Development Centre Mohamed Ali Al-Dhib.
