France and Netherlands settle Saint Martin border
France and the Netherlands have reached a final agreement to demarcate their borders on the island of Saint Martin after a dispute that lasted approximately 378 years, which impacted the regions and legal and administrative frameworks since the Concordia Treaty of 1648. The agreement includes precise determination of the terrestrial and maritime boundaries based on geographic data and technical maps, thereby enhancing legal security and facilitating cooperation between the two administrations on the island, which is home to around 75,000 people. The goal of the agreement is to prevent future disputes related to urban expansion and infrastructure development, while maintaining the historic territorial balance between the two sides.
