Egypt–Greece maritime deal

Egypt and Greece signed in summer 2020 a maritime treaty creating an exclusive economic zone for oil and gas drilling rights in the Mediterranean sea. The deal establishes “partial demarcation of the sea boundaries between the two countries, and that the remaining demarcation would be achieved through consultations.” The Egyptian foreign minister Sameh Shoukry and his Greek counterpart Nikos Dendias signed the deal in Cairo on 6 August as a response to the 2019 Libya (GNA)–Turkey maritime deal.
