Egypt opposes Turkey-Libya maritime agreement
Egypt explicitly rejected the maritime delimitation memorandum signed by the Libyan House of Representatives with Turkey in 2019 regarding the delineation of maritime zones in the Mediterranean Sea. The Egyptian government confirmed that the memorandum is invalid, has no legal effect, and entails no obligations for Egypt. The Egyptian Foreign Minister emphasized the importance of respecting the principles of international law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of 1982, which are based on justice and fairness, especially amidst recent regional tensions. This rejection comes as part of Egypt’s efforts to reinforce its stance against Turkish policies in the region and its commitment to safeguarding its maritime interests and regional stability.
