Prime Minister Dbeibah reaffirmed his government’s readiness to facilitate measures that would enhance bilateral collaboration and create new avenues for economic integration. The meeting is part of ongoing efforts to revitalise Libya–Oman relations,which have continued despite Oman’s diplomatic mission leaving Libya in 2014 due to security concerns.
