The Council of Ministers of Lebanon has approved the demarcation of the maritime borders between Lebanon and Cyprus, according to a statement published on the official website of the Lebanese Presidency.
The session took place on Thursday, 23 October, under President Joseph Aoun and was attended by Prime Minister Nawaf Salam.
As noted, responding to reporters at the end of the session about the next steps with Cyprus after the agreement on the demarcation of the maritime borders, given that these borders overlap with those of other countries, Lebanese Energy Minister Joe Sadegh said that they received a report that the Minister of Information will discuss.
“But the next step will be to address the demarcation of the maritime border with Syria, which must be done," he added.
Invited to comment on this, sources from the Ministry of Energy, Commerce, and Industry spoke to CNA of a "very positive development."
They added that more details will be announced during the visit of the Lebanese Energy Minister to Cyprus on 10 November.
