The LIU, the organiser of the Niamey event, held a press conference at the Tripoli International Fairgrounds today to promote the March event. Some goods will be shipped by sea while others testing the transit trade route by road. Transit trade along three routesMinister Hwej said transit trade through Libya is one form of economic diversification and must be developed through the three probable routes: the Misrata-Tamenhint-Niger route; the Zuwara-Western-Mountain-Ghat route and the Benghazi-Kufra route. Hwej was clear that this project, diversification and transit trade need to be initiated and powered by the private sector. Others asked for outright protectionism for Libyan industry to enable it to stand on its feet.
