Libyan Parliament OKs Maritime Deal with Turkey
The Libyan House of Representatives officially approved the maritime boundary delimitation and security cooperation agreement with Turkey, after voting unanimously to rescind previous decisions that had rejected it, such as the rejection of the two memoranda of understanding and the halt of political relations with Ankara in 2020. This move comes as Turkey continues to strengthen its political and security presence in Libya. A meeting was held between Libyan Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah and Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalın to discuss cooperation and promoting stability, although the meeting did not address parliamentary approval of the agreement. The treaty delineates maritime jurisdictions between Turkey and Libya in the Mediterranean Sea, including the continental shelf and the exclusive economic zone. It is a step with political and strategic implications, concerning economic and security interests in the region, amidst opposition from Egypt and Greece, who considered the agreement to be invalid.
