Greece welcomes the completed ratification process on Friday by the Italian senate of the Greece-Italy agreement to delineate the respective maritime zones, the Greek Foreign Affairs Ministry said on Saturday.
The landmark agreement was signed in Athens in June 2020 and was approved in the Italian senate by 223 votes and only 2 abstentions. As Greece has already ratified it, the agreement will go into effect shortly.
In its statement, the Foreign Ministry said the agreement exhibits anew the commitment of Greece and nearly all of its neighbors to International Law, especially to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), which reflects customary law and which all countries are obliged to respect and implement.
