The tender process is the culmination of the great efforts made in recent times, especially the tangible results of the recent working visit of the Government of National Unity to the Italian Republic and what was agreed upon following meetings between the Libyan and Italian Prime Ministers, as well as the meetings between the Libyan Minister of Transport and his Italian counterpart.
