Libya's Foreign Ministry protests Greek bid round for hydrocarbon exploration south of Crete

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Libya's Government of National Unity has expressed deep concern over a report in the European Journal stating that Greek authorities have launched an international bidding round for hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation permits in maritime areas south of Crete—some of which lie within contested zones with Libya.

The statement concluded by urging Greek authorities to act responsibly, take into account the deep historical ties between the two nations, and prioritize constructive dialogue and negotiation as the only viable path toward fair and lawful solutions that safeguard the interests of all parties involved.
