The UN Secretary-General welcomed the two governments’ announcement of agreement on their maritime dispute and emphasised the importance of implementing resolution 1701.
Letters dated 18 October were attached to the later exchange constituting the maritime boundary agreement. The arrangement addressed offshore boundaries without resolving the land border.
The Lebanon–Israel exchange of letters was registered with the UN Treaty Secretariat under number 57582. Registration provides a formal treaty record; it does not settle disputed land boundaries.
