Beyond the controversial Turkish maritime agreement: Greece seeks cooperation in energy, construction, maritime transport, health, security, tourism, education and cultureBy Sami Zaptia. Greece had cut diplomatic relations with Libya during the former Faiez Serraj administration over Libya’s Maritime Agreement with Turkey. With regard to Libya’s agreement with Turkey regarding defining the exclusive maritime economic zone, Libya always emphasized the importance of any agreement that contributes to developing appropriate solutions and preserving the rights of Libya, Greece and Turkey, Aldabaiba said. He revealed he had discussed with Aldabaiba the prospects for bilateral cooperation in several sectors such as energy, construction, maritime transport, health and security, but there are other areas where we can do more such as tourism, education and culture. He said all European countries will certainly cancel documents that were presented on the basis that they are agreements between countries, but do not possess any legal force, as explicitly stipulated by the European Council.
