Libya's Union of Chambers of Commerce participates in the South-South Dialogue held in Italy
The dialogue was with the participation of the Argentine Ambassador to Tunisia and Libya, in addition to a group of economic experts from different continents of the world, where most of the attendees were from South American countries, Tunisia, Senegal, Italy, Germany and Switzerland.
Within the framework of strengthening international partnerships
The General Union of Chambers said this participation comes within the framework of strengthening international partnerships and expanding the fields of economic cooperation between the various countries. It also comes in the context of the efforts made by the General Union to enhance Libya's role in international platforms for cooperation between developing countries and activate its role in building strategic partnerships that contribute to stimulating trade, transferring expertise and developing shared value chains.
During the meetings, Raied held several coordination meetings with participants from various countries, in addition to working meetings with institutions concerned with supporting development and investment projects.
Libya a gateway between Africa and Europe
During these meetings, mechanisms to facilitate the involvement of Libyan institutions in South-South cooperation initiatives were discussed. Raied stressed in his official speech the importance of Libya's role as a gateway for Africa to Europe as a link between countries, and to promote the exchange of expertise and successful experiences to serve the goals of sustainable development. He pointed out that Libya possesses the elements and strategic location that qualifies it to play a pivotal role in the region.
Raied also extended an invitation to the officials of the German Conrad Organization, which organized this event, to visit Libya and open an office in Tripoli and hold some dialogue sessions there in the future.

Ruben Amorim's new dream Man Utd XI with Benjamin Sesko joined by £100m Premier League star
Manchester United have taken a targeted approach during the summer transfer window to give Ruben Amorim more of an idea of how his best team will look this season Ruben Amorim has been given a full pre-season with his Manchester United squad for the first time, and he'll hope it does the business. The Portuguese has the team playing in his preferred three-at-the-back system, and has already added the likes of Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to the roster. Benjamin Sesko is next in line, with the Slovenian opting for United over rivals Newcastle. Profit and Sustainability regulations may limit what else can be done, but some high-profile exits could yet free up funds. Marcus Rashford's wages are off the books after his loan move to Barcelona, while Jadon Sancho is expected to join Juventus once the Turin club can shift some players themselves. Antony, Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund are among the others potentially available for the right price, though Harry Maguire is staying put. Aside from the new-look front-line, United have looked into midfield reinforcements in the form of Carlos Baleba. The Brighton star could set them back a cool £100million, though, and that may be a tall order this summer. If United do get both deals done, though, Amorim will face the task of working out how to put all his talented players on the pitch at once. Here, Mirror Football looks at how he might manage it. Goalkeeper and defence Despite their lowly finish last term, United actually conceded fewer goals than top-half finishers Brentford and Brighton and only three more than sixth-place Aston Villa. It may be for this reason that Amorim has decided against major surgery at the back. Andre Onana remains United's first-choice keeper for now despite some high-profile errors last term. He should be helped by the return of Lisandro Martinez after a long-term injury, with the Argentine sorely missed towards the tail end of last season, though it remains to be seen how soon he'll be Premier League ready. Martinez will be first choice on the left of the back three, with Leny Yoro on the right and Matthijs de Ligt between them. Harry Maguire will also be an option in the middle, with the former captain expected to extend his contract, while the versatile Noussair Mazraoui can expect to get minutes at centre-back or wing-back depending on the opposition. Midfield We're including those wing-back roles as part of the midfield here, for simplicity's sake. Here, the likes of Mazraoui and Diogo Dalot remain options, but United's best XI may well be one with the more attack-minded Amad and Patrick Dorgu out wide. In the middle, signings further up the field are expected to push captain Bruno Fernandes into a deeper role for the most part. Baleba would be his natural partner if a deal can be done, providing a ball-winning option alongside the Portugal star. If Baleba stays at Brighton, though, Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro will battle it out for that other spot. Toby Collyer and Kobbie Mainoo will also have a role to play, though there were times last term when Amorim appeared keen to play Mainoo further forward. Attack United scored just 44 league goals last season. Cunha, Mbeumo and Sesko scored 48 between them, which our rudimentary maths leads us to believe is more than 44. The addition of £74m man Sesko could well help ease the pressure on £72m Hojlund, too. However, without European football to share the workload around, there may be questions over the minutes afforded to the Dane. Joshua Zirkzee will provide a solid rotation option, and showed last season that he could be handy when not being asked to put up the kind of goal numbers he has never put up in his career. There will also be times when Fernandes plays behind the striker to accommodate an extra defensive midfielder - perhaps even for the opening game against Arsenal if Amorim doesn't want to throw all three new boys in at once.

International information received on suspicious activities passing through Libyan financial system: CBL
The Central Bank of Libya's (CBL) National Committee for Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing issued the following statement today: ''We affirm that responding to the increasing challenges facing the financial system of the Libyan state represents a national responsibility that requires the concerted efforts of all concerned parties. It is necessary to adopt an integrated legislative and institutional framework in line with international standards, to ensure that Libya remains within the global financial system. - The receipt of international information regarding suspicious activities suspected of passing through the Libyan financial system, which reflects the fragility of the current system and exposes the State to the possibilities of international legal accountability. We call for the speedy adoption of the draft Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism Law, as a key step towards meeting the requirements of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and enhancing confidence in the Libyan financial system. Any delay in this regard will expose Libya to serious risks to the reputation of the Libyan financial system and economic and livelihood stability. We call on all authorities, especially legislative, executive, judicial and supervisory authorities, as well as law enforcement agencies, to shoulder their responsibilities and take the necessary urgent measures to ensure the integrity of the financial system and the protection of the national economy.''

Bank of Korea governor says US trade deal removes 'huge burden'
SEOUL, Aug 7 (Reuters) - South Korea's trade deal with the U.S. will "take a huge burden off" monetary policymakers at their upcoming meeting later this month, the country's central bank governor said on Thursday. "I thought we would be in a difficult situation if things went wrong with tariffs before the policy meeting, and while there might be different opinions, I think you did a difficult job at a difficult time," Bank of Korea Governor Rhee Chang-yong said at his first meeting with Finance Minister Koo Yun-cheol, according to a media pool report of his opening remarks. Koo visited the U.S. last week, just a week after he took office, as head of South Korea's negotiation team and clinched a trade deal with U.S. President Donald Trump that set import tariffs on South Korean goods at 15%, on par with Japan and the European Union. Trump had earlier threatened a tariff of 25%. Rhee did not elaborate when asked by local reporters what he meant by saying the agreement had removed a "huge burden". At the meeting at the Bank of Korea, Rhee and Koo agreed to communicate closely on policy coordination as well as to cooperate on long-term structural reforms, Koo's ministry said in a statement. The Bank of Korea kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 2.50% last month, but a majority of board members signalled another rate cut in the next three months and warned of "significant" economic uncertainty from the U.S. tariffs. Later in July, the Bank of Korea said a trade deal similar to that of Japan's would be marginally worse than the central bank's base-case growth projection, after data showed Asia's fourth-largest economy grew in the second quarter at the fastest pace in more than a year. The central bank next meets on August 28.
