Eastern Libya parliament approves 2019 maritime deal with Turkiye
Full story
Libya's eastern-based parliament has approved a 2019 maritime agreement between the Tripoli government and Türkiye. The vote gives parliamentary recognition to the deal signed by the two sides. It also ends the boycott led by eastern commander Khalifa Haftar, who rejected the arrangement in 2020. The agreement addresses competing maritime claims and how responsibilities should be shared in the Mediterranean. Approval may reopen a channel for cooperation between Tripoli and Ankara after years of dispute. The report does not say whether implementation has begun or identify any next maritime steps.
The vote recognises Ankara's maritime deal with Tripoli, ending Haftar's 2020 boycott.
