Adel Hamed said Egyptian-Libyan cooperation in the area of international communications, including data and voice services, would result in LITC’s access to Telecom Egypt’s submarine cable infrastructure which spreads all over the world. He said this would allow the Libyan people to access quality communications between the two countries and with all of Africa.

Adel Abu Faris explained that the expected cooperation with Telecom Egypt is part of the experience exchange agreements signed for many years by the two companies. He said that these discussions open horizons for joint cooperation in the field of more advanced technologies.
