On Wednesday, a dialogue session was held between the Libyan Prime Minister, Osama Hammad, and the head of the parliament’s foreign affairs committee, Youssef Al-Akouri.
Hammad discussed with Akouri the urgent need to reduce the number of employees in Libyan embassies by 40%, in order to preserve public funds and improve the efficiency of diplomatic work.
Discussions pointed to the need to improve diplomatic efficiency, by focusing efforts and resources in countries of strategic or economic importance to Libya, which have large Libyan communities or enjoy trade relations with the country.
Hammad stressed the need to reduce the overhead costs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in line with the budget submitted to the House of Representatives.
In a related context, Hammad discussed with a number of heads of committees in the House of Representatives the oil and energy file, with a focus on activating and maintaining crude oil refineries. The conversation touched on the importance of effectively exploiting the oil sector for the benefit of the country and achieving self-sufficiency in oil derivatives.
Regarding economic decisions, Hammad pointed out that the government is working to mitigate the impact of high prices by providing basic commodities at subsidized prices to all citizens.
