Bou Habib: No complications regarding Syria demarcation talks
Caretaker Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib announced Wednesday that “there are no complications regarding the discussions for sea border demarcation with Syria.
“We will agree with the Syrians on another date for the beginning of the border demarcation talks,” Bou Habib added, in remarks to Al-Jazeera TV.
He also said that Lebanon’s caretaker government “will continue the maritime border demarcation talks with Syria.”
“The Lebanese have major hope that Lebanon will become an oil producing country,” Bou Habib went on to say.
He added that French oil giant TotalEnergies would begin gas exploration at Lebanon’s Qana field following the Thursday signing of the sea border agreement with Israel.
“After the agreement is signed, we will officially publish the text of the sea border demarcation agreement,” Bou Habib said.
