Libya and Dubai have reached an agreement to set up a $3 billion joint investment fund to finance projects in Libya and the UAE, Libyan officials said yesterday.

The officials named a $500 million joint real estate and tourism firm, a $400 million bank and water desalination plants among the projects.
Libya and Dubai were also looking into building a portfolio of joint projects in Africa, the officials said but offered no timetable, countries or sectors.
