PM Meloni Visits Tripoli as Italy Signs $8 Billion Gas Deal with Libya

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visited Tripoli on Monday to witness the signing of a $8 billion gas exploration deal between Italian energy giant Eni and the Libyan government.

The deal, which was signed by Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi and Libyan Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibeh, is the first major energy agreement between the two countries since the start of the civil war in 2011.

The agreement is expected to help provide Libya with much needed energy resources and generate revenue for the country, which has been struggling economically since the war.

The deal has been met with some criticism from the United Nations and other international organizations, who argue that the contract should have been signed with the internationally recognized government of Libya.

However, the deal is seen by many as a step in the right direction for the country, which is still in the process of rebuilding after years of conflict.

The agreement is also seen as a sign of the improving relations between Italy and Libya, who have been working together to combat illegal immigration in the Mediterranean Sea.

The deal is expected to be a major boost for the Libyan economy, with Eni investing in the exploration and production of natural gas in the country.
