Norland, Dbeibeh discuss management of Libya’s oil revenues

U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Richard Norland, held talks on Tuesday with outgoing prime minister, Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, at Libyan government headquarters in Tripoli.

The two discussed the “importance of working toward a consensus with stakeholders across Libya in support of the Geneva talks between the [House of Representatives] and [High Council of State] facilitated by Stephanie Williams,” according to Norland.

“We also discussed the importance of managing oil revenues in a way that is transparent and accountable,” the American diplomat revealed. “I complimented the PM’s engagement on Mustafeed so far. I added that U.S. companies have much to offer that could help alleviate current electricity cuts.”
