Description
Libya’s eastern parliament has lifted its opposition to a contentious agreement that delineates maritime boundaries in the eastern Mediterranean. The 2019 memorandum of understanding between Türkiye and the internationally recognised government in Tripoli establishes a sea border between the two nations. Greece and Egypt are among several nations that have refused to recognise it, citing concerns over their own maritime sovereignty in the potentially resource-rich region. Türkiye has called on all nations to respect the bilateral agreement.
