Egypt Reaffirms Rejection of Turkey-Libya Maritime Memorandum

Egypt has reiterated its categorical rejection of the 2019 maritime memorandum of understanding signed between the government of Fayez al-Sarraj and Turkey.

The agreement concerns the delimitation of maritime jurisdiction in the Mediterranean Sea.

Egypt described the memorandum as “legally invalid and without effect,” reaffirming its position that the arrangement has no legal standing.

The statement underscores Cairo’s continued opposition to the maritime boundaries set out in the memorandum and its refusal to recognize their validity.
