The German economics minister and vice chancellor, Dr. Philipp Rösler travelled to the capital of Libya last week for a two-days´ stay together with a big business delegation. Luthardt was also a part of this delegation, represented by its Managing Partner Sven Luthardt.

The delegation not only met leading members of the Libyan National Transitional Council as Mr. Mahmoud Jibril and Mr. Mustafa Jalil during the visit, but also the finance and oil Minister, Mr. Ali Al-Tarhuni as well as the Libyan economics minister, Dr. Abdullah Shamia. Of course this visit had a humanitarian purpose too. So Dr. Rösler handed over about 5 tons of German aid goods to the Libyan health minister Mr. Naji Barakat.

In the course of a gala dinner on the first evening of the trip arranged by the German ministry of economics the members of the business delegation had the opportunity to invite a Libyan business partner for it. Sven Luthardt was accompanied by Mr. Ramadan Abdelsamad, the General Manager of GESCO (a fully-owned subsidiary of the national energy carrier GECOL).
