Ratification of Cyprus-Lebanon Agreement on Exclusive Economic Zone
December 4, 2025
The agreement signed between Cyprus and Lebanon to delineate their exclusive economic zone cannot be overturned, according to government sources. Despite Turkish reactions, the agreement will be ratified by the Cypriot parliament. The process to achieve this agreement began in 2007 but was delayed due to Turkish interference. Cyprus seems to benefit from Lebanon's steadfast stance, which was previously influenced by Turkey. This recent agreement is considered significant for the economic cooperation between the two countries.
