Libyan rebel leader Mahmud Jibril called on Thursday on all Spanish firms, including oil company Repsol, to return to Libya, which has been engulfed by a five-month-long civil war.
The Libya's National Transitional Council website operated by the rebels quoted Jibril as saying "the strong bilateral relations with Spain are very important for us, Spanish companies like Repsol are very important for our oil fields plus Spanish companies are helping us in rebuilding the infrastructure of the country."
The company is the mouthpiece of the rebel forces battling Moammar Gaddafi's regime.
Repsol, which has had a presence in Libya since the 1970s, has cut its oil production in half and evacuated all its nationals and experts from the country after the uprising against Gaddafi started.
