The United States (US), on Wednesday, called to separate the National Oil Corporation (NOC), from present political tensions and urged for a halt to targeting its workers and facilities.

The US Embassy, in a statement, also called for an end to the unnecessary closure of the energy sector in Libya.

It stressed that any attempt to militarize the energy sector or smuggle petroleum products in contrary to the Security Council resolutions, or further divide Libya’s economic institutions are incompatible with the aspirations of the Libyan people to move their country forward and respond to the unprecedented challenge posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
