Libya and Indonesia signed a cooperation agreement on October 20 in Semarang, Indonesia, to facilitate trade between their nations. The deal aims to foster direct cooperation between private-sector companies from both countries.

This agreement follows the Libyan Business Forum held on October 16th in Jakarta.
At the Jakarta forum, over 12 letters of intent for commercial deals valued at US$1.8 million were signed. The Libyan Business Council is now working with Indonesian economic entities to develop trade exchange opportunities and convert these letters into actionable agreements.
