Libya and Canada have signed a memorandum of intent on nuclear power, the fourth signed by Tripoli in the past two years, an official said on Thursday.
The memorandum foresees cooperation between the two countries in research and the mining, processing and transport of uranium, as well as its use in medicine and desalination projects.
Since July 2007, Libya has signed another three similar agreements with France, Russia and Ukraine.
OPEC member Libya is also the African continent's third largest oil producer after Nigeria and Angola, pumping nearly two million barrels of crude oil per day. It hopes to increase production to three million bpd by 2013.
