Egypt and Greece signed, on Thursday evening, an agreement to define the maritime borders between the two countries.

The Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, announced that his country is ready to take refuge in the International Court of Justice in The Hague, on the issue of demarcating the borders of maritime areas.

"I have met President Erdogan twice since assuming the post of prime minister, and told him of our desire to renew Greek-Ottoman Turkish relations because we will remain neighbors forever. I really do not believe that there is enmity between the two Greek people," Mitsotakis said during a virtual participation in the Aspen Security Forum on Thursday.
