Libya: UAE calling | beyondbrics – FT.com

Libya is getting a visit from a possible knight in shining armour next week as Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, the United Arab Emirates foreign minister, plans a trip to Benghazi to see how he can help the reconstruction effort.

This could make for an interesting partnership, as the UAE has a whole lot of developers seeking work after real estate prices slumped in the emirates and Libya has a whole lot of sites that need re-building.

“The projects and programmes of the UAE in Libya are the main reason for my visit to Benghazi next week, and we will follow up on the issue and the needs and priorities,” Sheikh Abdullah told reporters at a press conference last night in Abu Dhabi, the UAE capital.
