The summit was held in collaboration with key entities, including the Libyan Prime Ministry, the Ministry of Oil and Gas, the National Oil Corporation (NOC), and the renewable Energy Authority of Libya.
Bayraktar highlighted that the energy sector has confronted a series of complex crises in recent years, encompassing issues such as climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, disruptions in supply chains, escalating commodity prices, and geopolitical tensions, notably exemplified by the conflict in Ukraine and recent events in Gaza.
“To address all these challenges and to secure energy supply, reliable and affordable energy supply is becoming increasingly difficult each and every day,” Bayraktar declared, emphasizing the critical need for international collaboration, Bayraktar underscored the urgency to address these challenges directly.
The minister underscored Libya's substantial potential in areas extending beyond oil and gas, placing particular emphasis on the country's capability for the development of renewable energy.
