Tripoli government requires Prime Minister's approval for foreign organization engagement

The Tripoli-based Libyan government has issued a circular through the Minister of State for Prime Minister and Cabinet Affairs, Mohamed Ben Ghalboun, outlining new regulations for communication and engagement with foreign organizations. The directive, addressed to various government entities and municipal leaders, mandates that all interactions, including cooperation, meetings, and agreements with foreign organizations, must receive prior approval from the Prime Minister's Office. This measure aims to standardize procedures, improve coordination among public bodies, and ensure adherence to established controls. Requests for permission and coordination are to be submitted via the Government Contact Centre before any activity or communication with foreign organizations commences.
