The meeting centered on cooperation outlined in the memorandum of understanding signed between Sonatrach and the Libyan National Oil Corporation (NOC). This agreement, amended earlier this year, aims to restart the Algerian group's activity under its contractual commitments and develop oil and gas fields discovered in partnership in Libya.

During this meeting, both parties reaffirmed “their commitment to bolster cooperation to achieve their common strategic objectives in this vital sector,” the statement said.
