Greece invites Libya to maritime zone talks to ease strained ties
Greece has invited Libya's internationally recognised government in Tripoli to start talks on demarcating exclusive economic zones in the Mediterranean Sea, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said late on Wednesday. The move is aimed at mending relations between the two neighbours, strained by a controversial maritime deal signed in 2019 between the Libyan government and Türkiye, Greece's long-standing foe, which mapped out a sea area close to the Greek island of Crete. "We invite — and I think you may soon see progress in this area — we invite the Tripoli government to discuss with Greece the delimitation of a continental shelf and an exclusive economic zone," Mitsotakis told local Skai television. Greece this year launched a new tender to develop its hydrocarbon resources off Crete, a move that Libya has objected to, saying some of the blocks infringed its own maritime zones.

Greece calls on Libya to engage e maritime border delimitation talks
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has called on Libya to engage in negotiations with Greece regarding the delimitation of the continental shelf and the exclusive economic zone. In an interview with Greek broadcaster Skai, Mitsotakis stated that there are no issues concerning the sovereignty of Greece's islands, and stressed that Libya must make a choice, claiming that 'Turkey is clearly manipulating it.' On the issue of migration, Mitsotakis reaffirmed that Greece will not tolerate mass illegal migration and will do everything within the framework of international law to prevent it. He added that Greece is sending a clear message to smugglers: reaching Greek territory will not guarantee easy entry. Tags:

Greece invites Libya to maritime zone talks to ease strained ties

REUTERS/Stefanos Rapanis/File Photo ATHENS (Reuters) -Greece has invited Libya's internationally recognised government in Tripoli to start talks on demarcating exclusive economic zones in the Mediterranean Sea, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said late on Wednesday. The move is aimed at mending relations between the two neighbours, strained by a controversial maritime deal signed in 2019 between the Libyan government and Turkey, Greece's long-standing foe, which mapped out a sea area close to the Greek island of Crete. "We invite - and I think you may soon see progress in this area - we invite the Tripoli government to discuss with Greece the delimitation of a continental shelf and an exclusive economic zone," Mitsotakis told local Skai television. Greece this year launched a new tender to develop its hydrocarbon resources off Crete, a move that Libya has objected to, saying some of the blocks infringed its own maritime zones. Law and order has been weak in Libya since a 2011 uprising that toppled dictator Muammar Gaddafi, with the country divided by factional conflict into eastern and western sections for over a decade. Therefore, any communication with Libya was not easy, Mitsotakis said. He indicated that Greece was determined to continue talking to both the Tripoli-based government and a parallel administration based in Benghazi. In recent months, Athens has sought closer cooperation with Libya to help stem a surge in migrant arrivals from the North African country to Greece's southern islands of Gavdos and Crete and passed legislation banning migrants arriving from Libyaby sea from requesting asylum. In an incident earlier this month, the European Union migration commissioner and ministers from Italy, Malta and Greece were denied entry to the eastern part of divided Libya, shortly after meeting the internationally recognised government that controls the west of Libya.

Skai Jackson Went Wild In Leopard At The Fantastic Four Premiere — And We Cannot Stop Thinking About It
Source: Phillip Faraone / Getty Skai Jackson is in her post-mommy fashion era and looking TF good in it. The beloved actress, new mom, and budding fashion icon made jaws drop at the Fantastic Four: First Steps premiere in Los Angeles on July 21. With a slinky and sheer, wild print dress, Skai showed the girls that she is not afraid to turn heads or serve a lewk. No wonder we are obsessed. Skai arrived at the movie premiere's blue carpet in a chic leopard print Alberto Makali gown that was doing the most – in the best way. The sheer, body-skimming dress was maxi length with thin straps and just enough stretch to highlight her toned curves and confident post-mommy glow. The patchwork design, mixed leopard, zebra, and cheetah-inspired panels, was a whole moment. The animal print mashup screamed trend and fashion-forward. Skai's dress also featured teal and green side panels, adding a whimsical flair. Source: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Skai completed her red carpet with a glam look that oozed elegance and youth. She styled her hair in a sleek, high bun with flirty face-framing tendrils and a slight bang moment — a grown and sexy update to the classic Disney girl pony. Her makeup was glowing with a soft blush, fluffy lashes, and a perfectly lined nude lip. Her nails were short, white, and neatly manicured. A smart style choice that balanced the boldness of the dress while still making a statement. RELATED: Congratulations! Skai Jackson Welcomes Her First Baby, Kasai The Disney star's red carpet moment comes just days after she shared new photos of baby Kasai. She welcomed her adorable son earlier this year and recently gave fans a peek at his latest 6-month milestone. In a July 18 Instagram carousel, Kasai wore blue-and-white striped overalls and looked too cute for words. He appeared alongside the family pup, making the sweet moment even more heart-melting. . And the comments section was full of heart-eye emojis and internet auntie energy. Fans have loved watching Skai embrace motherhood while staying true to her style. From slaying her maternity fits to now giving post-baby red carpet energy, she's reminding us that she will always be that girl.
