Tripoli—The volume of trade exchange along with the strategic partnership agreed upon between the Libyan and Chinese banking sectors were the main topics discussed by both the Governor of the Central of Libya (CBL) Naji Issa and the Chinese Ambassador to Libya Ma Xuliang.
This meeting, which was also attended by the Liu Jian, the Chinese Counselor and Chargé d’Affaires at the Embassy, comes as a follow-up to a meeting between Mr. Issa and the Governor of the People’s Bank of China, held on April 18 on the sidelines of the Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.
A statement issued by the CBL Monday said the meeting also “touched on the commencement of logistical arrangements for an upcoming visit by a Libyan banking delegation, headed by the Governor and including general managers of Libyan commercial banks, to the People’s Republic of China.”
The visit, the CBL said, aims to establish bilateral cooperation between commercial banks in both countries and to benefit from China’s expertise in electronic payments and direct financial transfers.
