Diplomatic Role in Greece
When Al-Menfi was the ambassador in Athens, Greece, there was a disagreement. This was about a deal between Libya and Turkey over sea borders. Greece and Turkey have had long-term arguments about who can drill for oil in the Mediterranean Sea. Because of this, Al-Menfi was asked to leave Athens in December 2019.
Leading Libya's Presidential Council
In 2021, a special meeting called the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum was held. Its goal was to choose new leaders for Libya. Mohamed Al-Menfi ran for the position of president of the Presidential Council. He was part of a team that included Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh as prime minister. Their team won the vote with 39 votes.
Central Bank Changes and UN Visit
In August 2024, Al-Menfi removed the head of Libya's Central Bank. He said this was because the bank's money was not being managed well. He also mentioned that the former head was taking advantage of the disagreements between different parts of Libya.
New Agreement for the Central Bank
A month later, Al-Menfi's government in Tripoli made a deal with another government in Tobruk. They agreed on a new temporary head for the Central Bank. They also set up a new financial committee. Al-Menfi said this deal was important to prevent a war in the capital city, Tripoli. The United Nations helped with this agreement.
Looking to the Future
After the deal, Al-Menfi said he was hopeful for Libya's economy. He wants Libya to rely less on oil and develop other industries. He also went to New York for a big meeting called the United Nations General Assembly. While there, he signed an agreement to help American companies invest in Libya. This aims to support Libya's economic growth.
