President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, asserted that the completion of the demarcation of southern maritime borders will enable Lebanon to launch the process of exploration for oil and gas in the specified fields within the exclusive economic zone, which will give the Lebanese economy a positive impetus to start emerging from the crisis that it has been under for years.

President Aoun also pointed out that the contacts to complete the demarcation file have gone a long way in which Lebanon has achieved what makes it able to invest its wealth in its waters, and that there are technical details that are currently being studied for the interest of Lebanon, its rights and sovereignty.

President Aoun’s positions came while meeting the new executive council of the Informatics and Technology Syndicate in Lebanon headed by Mr. George Joseph Ghostine El Khoury.

The meeting was also attended by MPs Nicolas Sehnaoui and Ghassan Atallah,
