"The note verbale of May 27, 2025 of the Permanent Mission of Libya to the United Nations, in reaction to Greek initiatives to exercise legitimate sovereign rights, expresses Libya's firm positions, however, it does not produce legal results," diplomatic sources said on Thursday.
"These positions have been raised in the past and have been duly addressed by Greece and Egypt.
"International law is not determined by unilateral notes verbales or the wishful thinking of third parties. Such positions do not reflect a willingness to resume negotiations on the delimitation of the continental shelf and the Exclusive Economic Zone, based on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).
"Greece will continue to follow the path of international law and solid regional alliances that enhance its diplomatic leverage.
"Unlike invalid and legally non-existent agreements, Greece acts in accordance with international law and does not hesitate to clearly express its positions to all its interlocutors, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs recently did during his visit to Libya, the same sources noted.
