The Turkish ambassador to Cairo, Salah Mutlu Shen, confirmed that Turkey does not believe that the Libyan House of Representatives' decision to approve the maritime boundary delimitation agreement with Ankara aims to harm Egypt's interests. He stated that Ankara seeks to maintain a historical relationship and partnership with Egypt, considering it a brotherly nation. He explained that Turkey and Egypt continuously consult and coordinate on the Libyan issue, working together to promote stability and political unity in Libya. Additionally, Egypt issued a statement rejecting the ratification of the Libyan-Turkish memorandum of understanding regarding the maritime borders, viewing it as a violation of international law and an encroachment on its sovereign rights.
