Greece and Libya agree to advance talks on maritime boundaries during Tripoli meeting

·

Greek Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis held talks in Tripoli with Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh and Acting Foreign Minister Al Taher Salem Al Baour during an official visit focused on strengthening bilateral relations.

Following the meetings, Gerapetritis said both sides had agreed to continue discussions on the delimitation of the continental shelf and Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) between Greece and Libya.

“We have jointly decided to activate the joint committee, which will address key issues, reassess agreements that have been signed, and propose new agreements,” he said.

“We have decided to move forward with the discussions of the technical committees regarding the delimitation of the continental shelf and the Exclusive Economic Zone to cooperate within international organisations with an eye toward the future so that we can work together in an environment where both countries will have mutually beneficial agreements.”

Gerapetritis said it was important for neighbouring countries such as Greece and Libya to maintain close cooperation and pursue peaceful relations in a complex geopolitical environment.

Discussions also covered bilateral trade, migration, cooperation within international organisations, as well as cultural and educational ties.
