Greece and Qatar: Strategic Dialogue Based on the Law of the Sea
Published
Athens attaches particular importance to its relations with the countries of the Gulf. According to journalistic reports, Greece and Qatar are discussing within the framework of a strategic dialogue, with the Law of the Sea as the main topic.
The Law of the Sea is the international legal framework that regulates maritime boundaries, exclusive economic zones, and the rights of states at sea. For Greece, the issue is of great importance, because it concerns the Eastern Mediterranean, where there are disputes with Turkey.
Behind these discussions lies also the Turkish-Libyan memorandum of cooperation, which was signed in 2019 between Ankara and the government in Tripoli. Greece has expressed its opposition to this memorandum, because it considers that it does not respect its maritime zones.
The regional dimension of the issue and the diplomatic activity in the area show that Athens seeks to strengthen its international partnerships. The issue remains ongoing, and the next moves of both sides will be followed closely.
