Russia and Norway resume talks to resolve maritime border dispute

The two countries have been at odds over the maritime border in the Barents Sea for decades

The talks are expected to focus on finding a mutually acceptable solution that will allow both countries to exploit the area's resources

Russia and Norway have resumed talks to resolve a decades-old maritime border dispute in the Barents Sea. The talks, which began on Monday in Oslo, are the first in a series of planned meetings between the two countries.

The maritime border dispute between Russia and Norway dates back to the 1970s, when both countries began exploring for oil and gas in the Barents Sea. The two countries have been unable to agree on where the border should be drawn, and the dispute has prevented them from fully exploiting the area's resources.

The talks are expected to focus on finding a mutually acceptable solution that will allow both countries to exploit the area's resources. The two countries have agreed to a moratorium on oil and gas exploration in the disputed area while the talks are ongoing.

The resumption of talks is a positive development, and it is hoped that the two countries will be able to reach a mutually acceptable solution that will allow them to fully exploit the resources of the Barents Sea.
