In September Welsh Government commissioned a report on trading opportunities with Libya. The report has indicated significant opportunities in most of the sectors, healthcare being one of the priority areas. We are consequently organising a seminar on “Doing Business with Libya”, which will be conducted by the report’s authors and attended by Mr Hesham Ghrairi, Commercial Attaché at the Libyan Embassy. The event will be opened by the Permanent Secretary.

The seminar will take place at Mercure Holland House, Cardiff on 3rd December. In addition to highlighting the trade opportunities presented by Libya in various sectors it will also tackle issues such as the current political and security situation.
