Abstract

The Sino-Libyan relations witnessed a lukewarm history with no too much common ground from 1978 until 2010. Yet, the Chinese SOEs’ short but impressive performance in Libya’s construction sector before the 2011 conflict has already planted the foundations, shallow though they may be, for mutual trust and confidence in future cooperation, in particular in the light of China’s Belt and Road Initiative. While post-Jamahiriya Sino-Libyan relations will be based on and continue the contracted project-based economic cooperation, the ongoing multilateral consultation and dialogue for a political settlement for Libya bring historical opportunity for both Libya and China to explore a broader cooperation framework that positions both countries’ mutual interests in the 21st century’s concepts of a new international order and of security, though this will be a quite challenging task for both sides.
