Consensus has been reached between the government and political parties regarding the issue with French energy company TOTAL.
TOTAL recently announced its decision to quit its operation in Cyprus' exclusive economic zone after failing to find exploitable areas in blocks 10 and 11.
The President on Monday presided over a meeting with the leaders of the political parties with whom he discussed among others the developments over TOTAL`s decision.
President Anastasiades was asked by journalists whether the French company will remain in Cyprus and will carry on drilling in block 11 of Cyprus` EEZ.
