The BRITISH LIBYAN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION VISITS THE LIBYAN CITY OF ZLIETEN

The British Libyan Business Association were honoured to visit the city of Zlieten in conjunction with Concrete Canvas Ltd and Alhatia Company for Engineering and Construction to explore how this ground breaking and innovative product could be of assistance with regards to several projects under development in the city. The hospitality of the municipality and the many dignitaries that we met once again demonstrated the vitality and hospitality of the Libyan people. We look forward to visiting again in the very near future to further explore the solutions that we can work on providing.
